Lyle Overbay is still finding work
Lyle Overbay hit a combined .234/.310/.360 with the Pirates and Diamondbacks next year. He only hit nine home runs all year. The Diamondbacks apparently want to bring him back for another year. Of course, the D'Backs will almost certainly finish with a better record than the Pirates in 2012 and the Pirates are playing Clint Barmes more than $10 million over the next two years. So...

2011 Arizona Diamondbacks Player Evaulations: Lyle Overbay

Lyle Overbay to be Designated for Assignment
Dejan Kovacevic reports on Twitter that he hears the Pittsburgh Pirates have told Lyle Overbay that he will be designated for assignment.

The Electric Meter: Righties and lefties
In yesterday's Electric Meter, I set out to find the root of Charlie Morton's struggles over the last month. As it turned out, though, there wasn't much to see. Morton's pitches look the same, his peripherals look better, and the only thing that's different over the last month is the opponent's batting average on balls in play, which is something that's generally hard for a pitcher...

Pittsburgh Pirates Preseason Grades: Corner Infield
When the Pittsburgh Pirates signed former Toronto Blue Jay Lyle Overbay to a one-year/$5 million deal this offseason, the team announced that they intended to play Overbay as the team’s everyday first baseman.
This came as a surprise to many, including myself, considering the Bucs had just signed former Atlanta Braves outfielder Matt Diaz to play right field. This left Garrett...
