<t>Well, we lose Sabol in the 4th pick, but we gain a 24 year old LH pitcher from the Dodgers, Jose Hernandez, who pitched 38 innings at AA last year after advancing from high A. He had more strike-outs than innings pitched. Hope he is worth the $100,000 the team spent to take a look at him. <br/> <...

With this year's draft looming, I am almost equally concerned regarding who the Pirates may lose than who they may select.

Its nice to come out on top once in a while, hopefully it helps.

<t>Hey, neither Garcia or Velasquez may be that good, but they are 2 pitchers, so BC is closer to doing what he said he would do. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Garcia may be the more important of the 2 because he is a lefty. And perhaps Velasquez is around only until the Bucs determine if Ortiz, Burrows, ...

<t>While aging premium starters are knocking down massive sums (e.g. Verlander & Kershaw), and shaky or mediocre starters are earning real money (e.g. Elfin, Clevninger, & Boyd), unpredictable relievers are now enjoying the same largess.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> The Yankees, beating out the Re...

<t>I am a bit startled by some of the comments about how Reynolds is a liar, a quitter, and that his attitude may be a problem around the younger players. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Reynolds is involved in contract negotiations. If every comment from a politician, a corporate executive, a union represe...

<r>My take --- to me, the actual article is less deflating than the original headline. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> The issue is the amount of money offered during discussions of a contract extension, and not just an outright trade me request because he is a Pirate. Many MLB players are po'd with the amo...

<t>Reynolds requesting a trade is a headline on the MLB Trade Rumors site. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Not a good sign when your best player, who is already under contract for next season and 2 more years of club control asks (requests) to get out.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> I will be interested to read the...

<t>The roster, as would be expected for a team with a record as lousy as the Pirates and that is loaded with mediocre players, appears to be in a constant state of flux. Three more players designated in the past 3 days; Diaz, Yajure, Sanchez, and only 1 of them, saw any time in the minors or majors ...

Orioles claim Lewin Diaz. Lewin --- we hardly knew you.
