Ian Snell Rumors Resurface

Found July 26, 2009 on Sliding Into Home: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Ian Snell
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates

Mlb_jun_23_d06d
Again, we're hearing rumors that Ian Snell could be headed to the Yankees. The latest is that the Yanks have scouts watching him pitch for the Pirates AAA team today.Snell isn't going to be the Yankees savior but he's shut down AAA hitters, has experience in the bullpen and rotation, and has a fairly dramatic ERA/FIP split. Sort of a meh move if it does happen. I hope they can get something better than Snell beforethe deadline.

The worst case scenario

Via Where Is Andy Van Slyke  |  July 27, 2009
A team that hasn't scored since Friday doesn't need to face Tim Lincecum. Too bad for the Pirates that they don't really get a say in the matter. Paul Maholm and Lincecum kick off a three-game set in San Fran at 10:15 tonight. Freddy Sanchez is scratched, but because of his gimpy knee and not for more nefarious reasons. As far as we know.

D-Backs blank Pirates for 2nd straight day, 9-0

Via Fanster  |  July 26, 2009
Max Scherzer was dominant. It’s a simple, yet accurate statement. The hard throwing right hander baffled the Pittsburgh Pirates for 7 innings, and Gerardo Parra had a career-high 4 rbis in the Diamondbacks’ 9-0 win over the Bucs. Scherzer threw 109 pitches. Eighty-five (78%) of them were strikes. In his 18 starts [...]

Blanked again

Via Raise the Jolly Roger!  |  July 26, 2009
There isn’t much to say about this one. Virgil Vasquez started and was pretty awful (4 runs in 3 innings). The relief efforts of Jeff Karstens (3 runs in 3.2 innings) and Matt Capps (2 runs in 1 inning) didn’t help, either. Arizona’s hard-throwing Max Scherzer mowed down the offense, and the Bucs were shut out [...]
