See! Told you so!
Since Falter is gone, I wonder if Hunter Barcode will be brought up to replace the left with another lefty? Note that Barcode is a year and a half...
Don’t say stuff like that Steel. It is like saying “Gee, I haven’t had a flat tire in a long time…” Heaney has a 3.4 something era vs Colorado. So...
I think that is what will happen. I wonder who would take Reynolds’ contract, but then I wondered if they could move Hayes too. They sure acquired...
The Falter trade may have the most immediate effect. That is because it opens a spot in the rotation, meaning we may at last see Bubba Chandler in...
As we predicted, Taylor Rogers was flipped to the Cubs. The Pirates get a high A outfield prospect, Ivan Brethowr. Has some power but strikes out...
For a 21 year old high A 1B, Callan Moss, and a 28 year old LHP, Evan Sisk. I don’t know why they got Sisk, it seems like they have multiples of...
I am not even worrying about replacing Bednar, the Pirates seem to come up with short relief guys (Melancon, Grilli, Watson, etc.) like the...
And finally, not a middle infielder in the bunch! The organization was probably running out of places to play them. All of these prospects will...
Bednar was just traded to the Yankers for three prospects. This looks like a pretty good yield. C/1B Rafael Flores. Hit well at AA, promoted to...
The Red Sox have a logjam in the outfield and need a starter. They would seem to be a perfect fit for a trade with the Pirates. I would drool at...
So the trade rumors have Keller going to six different teams, and he has not been traded (yet). Meanwhile, the Pirates traded Hayes to the Reds,...
I agree, I wished for bats, but you are only trading 8 weeks or so of Ferguson, so in that case I guess you don’t necessarily get what you want....
For a 19 year old fireballer with control problems. This is more the lottery ticket type of move that I thought we’d see.
The reliever baffled me. It is the kind of move a contending team might make. Maybe they will flip him in the next 24 hours. I have no problem...
For a left handed reliever and a SS project. The reliever is on an expiring contract, so that is a bit of a head scratcher. Nothing about the two...
Something popped up in my reading list today that said that the Pirates had won five in a row and were 7-3 in their last 10 games. The losing has...
I guess people remember him more fondly now that he is gone. Great ballplayer, could carry an offense on his back, but I remember him as sullen,...
Trade deadline is less than 72 hours away. I bet Pham, Heaney, Icky Falafel, and anyone on a one year contract is packing their bags right now. I...
