Pirates to Sign Chris Gimenez?

Found February 14, 2012 on Pirates Prospects: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Chris Gimenez
TEAMS: Seattle Mariners,  Pittsburgh Pirates

Mlb_jun_23_2807

Greg Johns of MLB.com tweets that the Pittsburgh Pirates might sign utility player Chris Gimenez, who recently elected free agency after being outrighted by the Seattle Mariners. Gimenez can’t sign until Thursday after refusing the outright assignment.

In his career, Gimenez has a .171/.279/.272 line in 228 at-bats, including a .203/.314/.271 line in 59 at-bats in 2011. He’s played first base, left field, right field, and catcher in the majors, spending most of his time behind the plate. If signed he would likely be on a minor league deal and a non-roster invitee, since the Pirates could have claimed him if they wanted him on a major league deal. He turned 29 in December.

Key Stats: On a June night in 2009 I was in a hotel room the night before my sisters wedding hanging out with family and friends.

Introducing Pirates Prospects Blogs

I ran across him this morning when he was coming out of the indoor batting cages and noticed the new glasses he was wearing. Turns out that Robinson was having some trouble with his contact lenses last season. They kept shifting in his eyes...

Still waiting on AJ

Via Raise the Jolly Roger!  |  February 14, 2012
The Pirates and Yankees are still trying to work out an A.J. Burnett trade. It seems that most people close to the situation agree that it’s going to happen eventually, but the teams are still negotiating how much of Burnett’s salary the Bucs will pay and what prospects the Bucs will send to New York.

Now Kyle Seager getting worked out at first base

Via Seattle Times  |  February 14, 2012
We've all heard the talk about how the Mariners would give Alex Liddi extensive first base workouts this spring, simply because third base is getting too crowded within the organization. Liddi was indeed out at first base taking grounders this morning. But guess who was right there alongside Liddi? None other than Kyle Seager. Read more...
