Brian Jeroloman Returns To Blue Jays After Being Claimed & Re-Claimed Off Waivers

Found November 24, 2011 on Rant Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Brian Jeroloman
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates

Yes, you’ve heard this one before in the past week already, but Mike Wilner of the FAN 590 said it best in 140 characters: Kimball’d indeed. Jeroloman, a minor league catching prospect in the Blue Jays farm, was claimed by the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier this week when the Blue Jays tried to put him through waivers instead of having him take up a 40-man spot. Clearly, the club liked him enough to claim him back when the Pirates tried to do the same, and it looks as though the 40-man roster is where Jeroloman will stay for now. Not that he’s done much to earn it – the 26-year old has been a career minor-leaguer thus far, and hit just .240/.335 with 2 home runs over 76 games in AAA LAs Vegas last season.

The Pirates will likely tender an offer of arbitration to Derrek Lee today. The new collective bargaining agreement will eliminate Type A and Type B free agents next year.  Fortunately for the Pittsburgh Pirates, the system is still in place this year, as they have four Type B free agents, with the potential to get a few first round compensation picks in the 2012 MLB draft.

The Pirates lost Ryan Doumit and it looks pretty unlikely that Chris Snyder will be back.  Those two were supposed to be the catching tandem last season. Doumit had a good season, when he played.  The oft-injured backstop (somewhat) [...]
