Trade Values: A.J. Burnett and Garrett Jones

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Yankees discussing a A.J. Burnett trade. A big hold up with any Burnett trade is money, as the right hander is due $33 M total over the next two years, and is coming off two bad seasons with New York. Yesterday there was some talk that the Pirates could be interested in Burnett, with the Yankees...

Olney: Yanks want Jones for Burnett

More news on the A.J. Burnett front. Apparently there are some legs to this story and the speculation that the Yankees want Garrett Jones appears to be true. My feelings on a Jones for Burnett and cash trade are very mixed. With as mediocre as Jones is, the deal, in theory makes sense. However, outside of Jones, the Pirates outlook at first base looks quite bad. Burnett would help...

Can Garrett Jones Have A Big 2012?

The Pittsburgh Pirates are heading into another season with Garrett Jones being one of the biggest bats in their lineup. While that is largely uninspiring, I think Jones is more valuable to this team than many people give him credit for.Chances are that Jones spends most of his time in 2012 playing first base. He will be sharing that time with Casey McGehee, at least while the...

The Platoon of Garrett Jones & Casey McGehee

With every passing day, the Pirates get closer to starting their 2012 season with Garrett Jones and Casey McGehee as their starting first basemen. All offseason there was speculation that the Pirates could try and upgrade at the position, but it's becoming very clear to me that they are not going to do that.It's becoming clear because the Pirates still have some money to...

Presley's HR in the 3rd was the 1st of his career. Final: Pirates 7, Blue Jays 6 WP: Kevin Correia (10-6) LP: Jo-Jo Reyes (3-7) SV: Joel Hanrahan (23) Alex Presley sure knows how to get on Pirates’ fans good side. He opened up the scoring in the 3rd inning with a 2-run homer to give the Bucs a 2-0 lead. They would stay ahead the remainder of the game. Kevin Correia picked up his...

Calculating trade value: Garrett Jones edition

Garrett Jones - ZumaPress Yesterday, I took a look at Paul Maholm’s potential value on the trade block in preparation for the upcoming July 31st deadline. Garrett Jones is another player that may be available for the right price. Some reports have indicated that the Angels are interested in Jones, although the Pirates claim there has never been an inquiry. So what should we...
