Who are the three guys I would invite...
Ok, here is the game: based on what is already on the roster what three players would I sign to minor league deals with an invite to spring training.

Pirates Release Ross Ohlendorf
The Pittsburgh Pirates have released right handed pitcher Ross Ohlendorf, who was expected to be a non-tender candidate next week. Ohlendorf was coming off a horrible season, and has dealt with injury problems the last few years. He would have made a raise through arbitration over his 2011 salary had the Pirates kept him around.
The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster, allowing...

Basic background (which you can find more fleshed out in the previously linked post): Ross Ohlendorf pitches better when he'...

Ross Ohlendorf struck out six hitters last night. So what does that mean?
Before last night's game, I wrote this: I'm already pretty convinced that his time remaining in the rotation is limited and a good start against the Astros won't change my mind, but I do suppose it'll be a start. Ohlendorf then went out and struck out six Astros over five solid innings and I'll admit it, I'm intrigued now. I'm a Pirate fan. I get intrigued...

Ross Ohlendorf’s Struggles Are Nothing New
Stop me if you've heard this story before. The Pirates have a pitcher. This pitcher puts up a great performance one year, breaking out as a surprise contributor for the rotation.
