So. Brian Jeroloman is back. AA never lets me complete a list in peace. For the record, I had him at #73 (this pushes Marcus Brisker out of the top 100 - yes, I have an irrational attachment to having Scott Campbell on the list).Now, let the festivities begin!50. Alan Farina (age 25 on opening dayof minor league season) RHP - Will miss most if not all of 2012 recovering from TJ. Still has pretty good future after recovery.49. Sam Dyson (24) RHP - has been recovering from injury, at least one recent report said he'd had a setback. Good stuff but plagued by injury.48. Santiago Nessy (19) C - could go a lot higher if he stays at Catcher and succeeds, much harder to impress if he has to move out to 1B. Big kid for a catcher.47. Manuel Cordova (17?) RHP - One of the summers well regarded bonus babies. 46. Jesus Gonzalez (17?) OF - another 2011 summer signing. All of these guys in the top 50 were well regarded by scouts and paid like high draft picks.45. Anthony DeSclafini (22) RHP - ...

Kimball’d indeed.
Jeroloman, a minor league catching prospect in the Blue Jays farm, was claimed by the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier this week when the Blue Jays tried to put him through waivers instead of having him take up a 40-man spot. Clearly...

The Pittsburgh Pirates designated Eric Fryer for assignment last week to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for their Rule 5 additions. On the same day they claimed catcher Brian Jeroloman from the Toronto Blue Jays, who they designated for assignment to clear a spot for Clint Barmes.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have offered arbitration to free agent first baseman Derrek Lee, and have declined arbitration offers to catcher Chris Snyder and outfielder Ryan Ludwick.
If Lee accepts arbitration, the Pirates will have him under contract for the 2012 season, with his arbitration price likely being a raise over his $8.5 M total compensation in 2011. If he declines, the...

Alright so this one should be pretty easy as the Buccos have really addressed this position. The Pirates lost Ryan Doumit and it looks pretty unlikely that Chris Snyder will be back. Those two were supposed to be the catching tandem last season. Doumit had a good season, when he played. The oft-injured backstop (somewhat) [...]
