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...
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,...
I just read that he has a bobblehead day coming up in early September. The Pirates’ best attendance days always happen when they are giving away...
Dang. Over a month since my prediction of Bubba’s call up. Don’t know why they are waiting, except for a roster move to open a spot in the...
I barely remember him myself but he was good. He was sports director at one radio station and the broadcast rights went to another station. They...
Time moves on. I remember when Screamin’ Joe Tucker did play by play. Jack Fleming replaced him. Did anyone know that Bill Cullen was a Steelers...
I can’t even read the crap they put out any more. Sports used to be written by people who were actual writers. Think Myron Cope, Dick Schaap,...
For Cam Devanney. Devanney is a minor league SS with some sting in his bat, so that’s good. On the other hand, he is 28 so you can probably put an...
That sounds likely. The most interesting thing about moving Keller may be who replaces him in the rotation. Barco may have eclipsed Chandler at...
This one must be too hard. It is Elroy Face. He was a teammate of Ralph Kiner as a rookie in 1953. In his last year, 1970, he pitched for the...
I have not done one of these in a while. Here goes…. This Pirate, though it seems impossible, 1)was a teammate of both Ralph Kiner and Dave...
I hear much talk about Reynolds and Hayes being traded, but I don't know. You need a trading partner to make a trade, and their contracts may make...
