The Departed (Pirates)

[Dale Berras Stash]

thegreatchris mentioned this in the Capps/Gorz thread and it seemed like some people were interested (I'm one of them).

I'll post the Baseball Reference links for each player traded by NH in the last 2 years.  We can update the links, directly place stats....whatever....on a regular basis.

I didn't think there was a hue and cry for Paulino, Hinske, Bautista.

SEAN BURNNNET HAS STRUCKED OUT MORE THEN ONE BATTER PER INNNING!!!!

WHY IS NEIL HUNDINGDON SO STOOPID?

[kansasfan]

Meanwhile, Nyjer has walked twice as many times as he's struck out; has a 100% steal percentage; and leads the league in triples.  He's a phenom.

OK, so he has 2 walks and 1 K; 2 for 2 in steals; and 2 triples.  And his other numbers ain't so hot.

But it's early.

[SpeedyG]

Most of them seem to be struggling.

Jesse Chavez is looking pretty good for the Braves, though.  Didn't he have another HORRIBLE spring, too?  He has struck out 6 over 4.1 innings with a 2.08 ERA and .92 WHIP.

I'd rather have Iwamura, but I wouldn't have minded giving up somebody not named Jesse Chavez in that trade.  If that was possible.

[gnarburger]

Chavez was actually worse this spring than last.  There were some reports that said he was in danger of not making the team, but he again managed to head north with the team, and seems to be fine at least early on.

The three times he has appeared it has been the epitome of low-leverage situations as well. I think they are either taking it slow with him after his bad spring, or they just don't consider him one of the important arms in the pen, which he may have ended up being if he was still in Pitt.

Well, maybe not Hinske...

Sounds like there was some hot fuss today about ex-Pirates.
Here's a bump if Omar wants to pin this...or not.

[81omar]

Here's a bump if Omar wants to pin this

  Done. 

    To everyone reading this,if you want to talk about anyone who left the Bucs(unless its something that happened against the Bucs which would then go in the game thread from that day)please post it here to keep from new ones everytime someone does real good or real bad.

  Have fun and keep it clean,ding ding ding

Is it true that Boston traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees for Jose Hernandez, Matt Bruback and Bobby Hill?

[wvbucco]

I just noticed that Adam LaRoche is hitting 280.  Has someone told him its still only May?

  You mean Jason Bay?

LaRoche actually had a pretty good April last year too.  His OPS was actually higher last year than this year.  He just decided to have April in July last year.
