PITTSBURGH, Pa. — The Pittsburgh Pirates today selected infielder Jeff Clement from High-A Bradenton, and will be active for the game today. In order to make room for Clement on the 40-man roster, the club designated infielder Oscar Tejeda for assignment. The Pirates also transferred infielder Chase d’Arnaud from Bradenton to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Both Clement and d’Arnaud were sent to High-A on the 31st when the club recalled Kyle McPherson and Alex Presley from Triple-A. Because Bradenton’s season ended on Sunday, the Pirates did not have to wait the 10 days to promote Clement to the big league club. d’Arnaud will join the Triple-A club, who kick off playoffs on the 6th. He could join the club after their postseason ends.

Tejeda hit for a .242/.292/.364 line over 54 games with Double-A Altoona this season. The Pirates claimed Tejeda off waivers from the Boston organization on June 27.

Barmes Compared to Mystery Players

Via Pirates Prospects  |  September 02, 2012
Clint Barmes is having a miserable year with the bat. I don’t really care, though. He could hit .000 and his glove would more than make up for his awful bat. I’m kidding. That’s a ridiculous notion. Barmes’ inability to provide any tangible offense continues to weigh this team down. That got me to thinking about two players from the 1980s. They weren’t full time players...

 The Pirates were swept out of Milwaukee on Sunday, as a good day at the plate wasn’t enough to overcome another awful start by James McDonald.  J-Mac continues to drive Pirate fans nuts. He looked SO good in those two games against the Cardinals these last two weeks, but this time came right out and walked the leadoff man on four pitches. Uh oh. Then Pedro Alvarez made an error...

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Houston Astros – Game 134

Via This Is Getting Old  |  September 03, 2012
Ugh.  Still sick.  I blame the Pirates at this point, specifically James McDonald.  It’s always frustrating when a bad offensive team scores more than five runs and loses.  Get it together guys. The Pirates need to sweep the Astros.  No two ways about it.  As of now the pitchers the Pirates will face in this [...]

Astros starter Edgar Gonzalez hadn’t pitched in a major league game since 2009.  Despite pitching just 5.1 innings today, he looked like an ace against the Pirates.  Jeff Locke struggled a bit in his first start of the year, and the Pirates’ offense wasn’t any help.
