Pirates Trade Daniel Cabrera, Sign Dallas McPherson

Found August 15, 2012 on Pirates Prospects: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Daniel Cabrera,  Dallas McPherson,  Jose Diaz,  Jo-Jo Reyes,  Jeff Locke
TEAMS: Chicago White Sox,  Pittsburgh Pirates,  Arizona Diamondbacks

The Pittsburgh Pirates have traded Daniel Cabrera to the Arizona Diamondbacks and have signed Dallas McPherson, per an Indianapolis press release.

McPherson hit for a .253/.335/.463 line in 229 at-bats in Triple-A for the Chicago White Sox earlier in the year. He was likely signed to help Indianapolis in the playoffs, especially after the Pirates call up players for September.

No word on the return for Cabrera, or if there was a return. He was one of the five starters Indianapolis had remaining. The Indians also placed Jose Diaz on the disabled list and activated Jo-Jo Reyes. Reyes could take over in the rotation, as the Indians don’t have many other options with Jeff Locke in the majors.

First Pitch: Garrett Jones Has Earned a 2013 Roster Spot and a Raise

Via Pirates Prospects  |  August 17, 2012
Heading in to the 2012 season, if you would have asked me to guess whether Garrett Jones would have returned to the Pirates in 2013, I probably would have said no. The first baseman is making $2.25 M this year, and because arbitration heavily favors home runs, he could very easily double that salary next year in his second of four arbitration years. Jones looked like nothing more...

The Batting Title is Andrew McCutchen’s to Lose

Via Pirates Prospects  |  August 15, 2012
Andrew McCutchen is currently in the lead for the batting title in the National League, and his .359 average leads the majors. The biggest threat to his league leading average this year has been Melky Cabrera, who currently has a .346 average. But today it was announced by Major League Baseball that Cabrera was suspended 50 games after testing positive for testosterone. The San Francisco...

Pirates News And Notes

Just some news and notes before the Bucs take on the Dodgers this week.   It was announced that James McDonald will be moved back to Friday, and AJ Burnett will pitch on Thursday, for the getaway game against the Dodgers.  This will give James another day to rest, and hopefully fix what is going wrong. It’s important that the Pirates get him right before the end of the season...

Six-man rotation can’t hurt the Pirates

Via The Sports Jags  |  August 14, 2012
James McDonald has been absolutely awful since the break. Erik Bedard and Wandy Rodriguez can’t figure out which side of the suck line they want to stay on. And AJ Burnett and Jeff Karstens finally didn’t look capable of stealing a win for the Pirates in their last starts. With 9 games left on their current 20 in 20 stint, the six-man rotation that Clint Hurdle is going with...

Indianapolis Indians Player Notes 8/14/12: Kyle McPherson and Bryan Morris

Via Pirates Prospects  |  August 15, 2012
The West Division-leading Indianapolis Indians dropped a 4-2 decision to the Rochester Red Wings Tuesday evening at Rochester’s Frontier Field. In this game, right-hander Kyle McPherson made his second Triple-A start for the Indians. It was McPherson’s 11th start of the season. He missed the first two months of the season with shoulder right-shoulder inflammation. Indianapolis...

Wednesday was a bad day

Via Raise the Jolly Roger!  |  August 16, 2012
It was apparent right away that Wednesday’s game was going to be another disaster for the Pirates. To start the night, Shane Victorino hit a tapper towards third and Josh Harrison threw it away for an error. Then a single put men at the corners for the Dodgers with no outs and Matt Kemp up. Kemp hit a slow roller up the middle, which was hardly a bad result…until Neil Walker...

And now Clayton Kershaw

The Pirates head into tonight's game protecting a 1/2 game lead in the wild card race. That doesn't quite mean that a loss drops the Pirates out of the playoffs; the Dodgers are tied with the Giants and so a Dodger win coupled with a Giant loss (they're tied 2-2 with the Nats in an afternoon game as of this writing) and a Cardinal loss would still put the Pirates a 1...

Positive Recap From Mellie. You will get not get a positive outlook from me. I know most people disagree with my assessment, even on this blog, but this probably started at the All Star Break, and the Pirates have failed to clear hurdles, and in some cases Hurdle’s. ASB was one.  They couldn’t carry the [...]
