Cedeno to make $1.125 million
SS Ronny Cedeno and the Pirates agreed on a $1.125M contract for 2010, avoiding arbitration. Cedeno made $822,500 in 2009. By comparison, Bobby Crosby will make $1 million guaranteed, with the opportunity to make up to $500,000 more in bonuses (based...
Winter Meetings, Day 3
All kinds of news and rumors will come out of the Winter Meetings, which are being held this week in Indianapolis. I’ll have a thread up for each day of the meetings and update it with any relevant news. Keep checking this post for any Pirates info...
Thursday news: X-man, Villone, PirateFest, Crosby, Brooks
Another day, another slew of people the Pirates are “interested in” … plus some other news: X-man back in the ‘Burgh? DK says that the Bucs have made “initial free agent inquiries” on Nady and pitcher Ron Villone....
Winter Leagues Update: October
Let’s see how the notable Pirates players in prospects who are still playing ball performed in their first month with their fall/winter teams: Position Players Brian Bixler is hitting .260 with two extra base hits (both doubles) and one RBI in...
What did we learn in 2009?
I’m not quite ready to put together a huge season-in-review post, but as a bit of a preview to that, here’s a list of things that we know now, but didn’t back in March: Brandon Moss is not the answer in a corner outfield spot: Mana...
Swept away again [Cubs 8 Pirates 5]
It’s getting harder and harder to stay interested in these games. They’re meaningless and the Pirates are playing like it. Kevin Hart was bad once again, and his numbers since the trade are starting to look pretty ugly. His final line was...
A new way to lose [Pirates 3 Reds 4]
I can’t imagine how newcomers to this team feel after their first game with the new club, especially if they go anything like this one did. Daniel McCutchen made his major league debut today. Besides giving up a homer to the first batter he fac...
Catching up…
Looks like the weekend series with the Reds went pretty well. If you weren’t aware, the Bucs won on Friday and Saturday (during the ‘79 celebration and sporting awesome uniforms) and lost a boring game on Sunday. They had today off. Becau...
Tucked in all week [Brewers 1 Pirates 3]
Although it’s absolutely killing our chances at Bryce Harper, you have to love the way the Pirates came home and swept Milwaukee after a miserable stretch to begin August. Even if it may not mean anything except a bit of confidence and bragging...
Humiliation [Pirates 2 Cubs 17]
There’s not much else to say. This game was laughable from the very start (well, not really. McCutchen hit a leadoff single. But then Cedeno hit into a DP). Charlie Morton had an absolute nightmare of an outing. He didn’t have any command...
Shut out again [Pirates 0 Rockies 8]
Ubaldo Jimenez was brilliant in shutting down the Pirates for 8 innings, as the Bucs returned back to their losing ways after taking game one in Colorado. Kevin Hart didn’t look too bad, but as soon as he gave up a 2-run homer in the first (on ...
No Silver Lining Here [Pirates 0 Diamondbacks 6]
It took me a while to process this game. I started off my last recap with “Ugh,” but that doesn’t begin to describe the game tonight. I’m a Pirates fan through and through, but I’m also realistic. I know that the c...
Gameday #106 vs Diamondbacks
Pirates (45-60) vs Nationals (33-72) 7:05–PNC Park, Pittsburgh TV: FSN Pittsburgh, FS-A Arizona [Here is the MLB Gameday] ————————————- I have no idea how Brian writes th...
Pirates Win! Oh wait… [Pirates 4 Nationals 8]
Ugh. I had a clever headline written in my head “Pirates Make a Mockery of Mock,” and the Pirates had to blow it. Things were going well after Andrew McCutchen’s second leadoff homerun in 3 games. The Bucs made a few stunning ...
Who needs Jack and Freddy? [Pirates 3 Nationals 5]
We’ll lose with them, and we’ll lose without them. In the meantime, their replacements aren’t doing half bad. Both members of the Pirates’ new middle infield, Ronny Cedeno and Delwyn Young, homered to give the team its onl...
