CRAIG HANSEN RUMORS & GOSSIP

Jack Wilson to DL

The injury gods must really hate seeing the Pirates do well. The Bucs lost Ryan Doumit for 8-10 weeks, Nate McLouth for at least a few days, Craig Hansen went to the DL yesterday, and now [Wilson's finger has landed him on the 15-day disabled list]. You may recall that Wilson [found his way to the [...]

Game 6: Reds 2 Pirates 0

I want to say, "Hey, there's nothing you can do when a guy goes out there and has a day like Aaron Harang had today," because it's certainly hard to say much when a guy spins a three-hitter at you with 9 Ks and only 103 pitches for the whole game. But then it's also hard to think it's an isolated incident when you were one-hit just three days ago, especially...

Pirates Roster Almost Set

The Pirates seem to be leading the charge in the central to get their 25-man roster set. Hey, it’s nice to be first in something, even when there isn’t a trophy or a gaudy ring. Relievers Sean Burnett, Craig Hansen, and Donnie Veal have made the club. Donnie Veal is a Rule 5 pick from the [...]

MONDESI'S HOUSE INTERVIEW: PIRATES POSTGAME HOST ROCCO DEMARO

I recently had the opportunity to sit down and meet with Rocco DeMaro, host of the Pirates' postgame show, Extra Innings, on WPGB 104.7 FM. We talked at length about our similar backgrounds (believe it or not, both of our fathers once operated Giant Eagle supermarkets within a few miles of each other - a fact I did not realize beforehand), the recent controversy he's dealt...

Pedro Alvarez Ruins My Afternoon

I was right in the middle of a post about Craig Hansen being mercifully-for his sake, the team's sake and anyone who's ever heard the word baseball's sake-sent down to AAA Indianapolis. Not that it matters, but that was pretty much the gist of the post, with the note that there are two pictures in [...]

More on this as the details are revealed.UPDATE: Ken Rosenthal is reporting the details of the deal as, "Pirates outfielder Jason Bay is headed to the Red Sox. The Pirates will receive Andy LaRoche and right-hander Bryan Morris...

Sox sweep thanks to Seattle’s shoddy fielding

Julian Tavarez gets designated for assignment

I never thought I'd see this day come. Julian Tavarez has never been a great pitcher in Boston but he ate innings and was a good guy to keep around the clubhouse. Now I'm not saying I wanted him on the team but it looked like Theo Epstein sure did. Tavarez has been designated for assignment today to make room on the active roster for Sean Casey. Most people, myself...

Justin Masterson called up to start this afternoon for the Red Sox

Pitcher Justin Masterson was called up from the Portland Sea Dogs today to make a spot-start against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Craig Hansen was sent back down to make room for him. With Beckett and Daisuke both missing starts due to the flu and post-flu symptoms (Josh's stiff neck), the Red Sox were forced to bring up Masterson A LOT earlier than they had hoped we...

Why Hansen Should Break Camp With The Sox

One thing i never understand is the bashing of Craig Hansen. The former number one pick has never really done anything bad. (continued...)
