Typical Pirates signing. The Pirates need a top end starter and they go out and sign this guy. What a joke!

(sarcastic)

Sorry, I just wanted to be the first to complain.

He's is just a filler, a bullpen filler. He isn't replacing Melancon, Burnett, Liriano, or Happ.

He played for us for what, like five minutes or something? Heh, I don't really have an opinion. I vaguely remember him as being the least terrible of all of those guys we were rotating in and out of that spot for a while.

I think it's a good signing. Now we can trade him for a low level prospect and save another $800K!

I would guess this move makes Watson or Bastardo available for possible trades.

He was actually really good in the short time he was there in September. 12 IP and only 1 ER. 10Ks to 2 Walks.

Is this sarcasm?

Not sure if the team would carry four lefthanders in the pen.

That was directed to me and yes, this is nothing more than a typical underwhelming signing.

Yes, very underwhelming. Every team signs these guys. It doesn't mean another pitcher won't be brought in.

Not just directed to you.
