According to Ken Rosenthal, the Pittsburgh Pirates were one of the teams that have sent scouts to watch soon-to-be 49 year old left hander Jamie Moyer pitch. Â Moyer is recovering from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in 2010, and which cost him the entire 2011 season. Â Rosenthal quoted scouts who said that Moyer looked just as good as he always has. Â The speculation was that he would probably fit best on a West Coast team.
I wouldn’t really read much in to the Pirates being there unless we hear more on this.  It’s one thing to send a scout to watch a guy pitch.  That’s due diligence.  It’s another to hear a rumor that the team is talking with the pitcher, or made an offer, and I don’t think we can get that from this.
