According to Baseball America, the Pirates have signed minor league catcher Lucas May. He has played part of one season in the majors, 2010 with the Royals. May was originally drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the eighth round of the 2003 draft. The Royals acquired him as part of the return for outfielder Scott Podsednik at the 2010 trading deadline. The 28-year-old May spent 2012 at AAA Buffalo in the Mets organization. He hit .215 in 75 games, with a .593 OPS and a 10/74 BB/K ratio. May has hit for power in the past, but his numbers have dropped recently. In 2005, he hit 25 homers in the hitter-friendly California League with Inland Empire and he has 105 career minor league homers. The right-handed hitting May batted .189 in 12 games for the Royals in a September call-up in 2010, striking out ten times with no walks. He will likely compete with Ali Solis for the backup AAA catching spot behind Tony Sanchez.

Reports From Instructs: Gerrit Cole

Via Fangraphs  |  January 11, 2013
The obvious headliner at Pirates instructs was 2011 #1 overall pick Gerrit Cole. Cole has been on prospect radars for some time, as he went unsigned out of a southern California high school in 2008 when the Yankees made him a 1st rounder despite being an obviously tough sign. Negotiations never got started and Cole decided he wanted to go to UCLA, where he cleaned up his delivery...

Roster Watch: Jared Hughes

Jared Hughes kind of came out of nowhere last year to have a mighty fine season, possibly a little too good.  He throws sinkers most of the time, it’s clearly his best pitch and his approach is predicated on it.  He can’t be effective without it. Hughes doesn’t miss many bats.   He also had [...]

Pirates swap Quincy Latimore for Jeanmar Gomez

Via WHYGAVS?  |  January 09, 2013
It would be fairly easy to write the trade the Pirates made today with the Indians that sent Quincy Latimore into Cleveland's system in return for Jeanmar Gomez as a minor move of little consequence, but it's early January and nothing else is happening.
