Or as one ex-PUGer put it, "a window licking ******."



Me thinks that Jeffy may has smoked a little too much weed growing up in Southern California.

Well, he picked a bad season to stop sniffing glue...

...aaaand, you missed his birthday yesterday.

Pitchers and catchers report in 12 days.

Full squad reports on Feb.14th.
.
First game is a split squad affair on Feb.23 against the Rays.

Hard to believe.


21 years of losing about to begin.

Have they made the Liriano signing official?

I thought they did last week. They added some health clauses to reduce his 2013 salary if he's not 100%. It's based on loss time.

[Robert Goulet]

He's still not on the roster.

I thought they had an agreement in place, but evidently it isn't a signed deal yet. He may be a NRI.

[Robert Goulet]

You don't sign a non-roster player to a two-year deal.

I don't know that he's signed. He may be an invitee. He's fallen pretty far as a result of his injury. Don't know what else to say but that he's evidently still somehow in play, I just don't know his status for sure.

There's this from yesterday:

I thought they had signed him to the same deal, just with an opt out type clause in case his broken arm didn't heal.

That's what I thought too. Doesn't seem to be the case right now. Who knows? I'm sure it'll shake out over the next couple weeks.

[Badger Bob]

There is no contract for Liriano right now

Pirates payroll is now at $69M, and I believe that doesn't include anything for Liriano, which makes sense. They avoided arbitration with Walker and MacDonald, both getting deals in the $3M range.

[Robert Goulet]

Pirates are close to a deal with left handed pitcher Jonathan Sanchez.

God awful last season Jonathan Sanchez.

He's the perfect fit then. Supposedly it's going to be a minor league deal. Not too much risk, if that's the case.

Quote

Sanchez is coming off a miserable 1-9, 8.07 season split between the Royals and the Rockies. As recently as 2010, he went 13-9, 3.07, and he pitched passably in 2009 and 2011. He's remarkably similar to Francisco Liriano, with whom the Pirates have been trying unsuccessfully to finalize an agreement.

BTW, the Indians signed Matt Capps to a minor league deal Talk about falling harder than Hobie Baker!!!


I guess they're still looking to finalize a deal with Liriano.
