EVAN MEEK RUMORS & GOSSIP
Gorkys Hernandez is in, Evan Meek is out…again
The Pirates sent Evan Meek down to AAA because his ERA was blowing up like Ross Morgan’s friend requests. Eight days after Meeker got demoted, he was called back up to replace Alex Presley. Presley definitely needed some minor time but we still didn’t get why Meek was brought back so quickly. Well, one appearance later, Meeker is heading back to Indianapolis and Gorkys...

Gorkys Hernandez recalled; Evan Meek optioned to AAA
OF Gorkys Hernandez (#62) has been recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis and RHP Evan Meek has been optioned to Indy.
— Pittsburgh Pirates (@Pirates) May 18, 2012
This a pretty surprising move.
We all knew that Meek was most likely going to be sent back down to AAA-Indianapolis for this weekend’s series, but Gorkys Hernandez is not a name that was being thrown around by anyone...

Pirates call up outfielder Hernandez, demote Meek
The Pittsburgh Pirates have recalled outfielder Gorkys Hernandez from Class AAA Indianapolis and have optioned right-handed pitcher Evan Meek to the same club, the Pirates announced Friday. Hernandez, who is making his first trip to the majors, has hit .266 with two home runs and 14 RBIs in 38 games this season. Hernandez was acquired in a 2009 deal with Atlanta that sent Nate...

Alex Presley is out, Evan Meek is back in
Just two weeks after Evan Meek was sent down to AAA Indianapolis because his velocity-less fastball had his ERA inflated to more than twice the Pirates’ average run total, the Buccos have re-called Meek. In return, they’ve shipped Alex Presley down to the minors.
Either Meek found his heater in the four appearances he’s made in Indy or the Bucs think Presley...

Pirates Option Presley to AAA, Recall Meek; What About Starling Marte?
The Pittsburgh Pirates have optioned struggling outfielder Alex Presley to its AAA affiliate in Indianapolis and have recalled relief pitcher Evan Meek to the majors, the team announced today.
Presley, 26, impressed after being a late-season call-up in 2011. He finished the year with a .298 average, four home runs and nine stolen bases in 52 games. He also had a decent OPS of ...

The Bucs are in Washington for another two-game set against an NL East opponent. Despite that series loss at PNC last week, the Nats are still playing (most pitching) very well and will present the Bucs with another tough task. The good news (for the Pirates)...

Pirates demote Alex Presley, recall Evan Meek
The Pirates announced this afternoon that Alex Presley is being demoted to Triple-A Indianapolis and that Evan Meek will be recalled to take his place on the roster for now. There's an awful lot of immediate snark at the Pirates calling up a bullpen arm to replace a bat, but I'm guessing that this will be a very short-term move. Considering that the bullpen threw four innings...

Evan Meek Isn't Evan Meek Anymore
Evan Meek has been sent down to AAA. I'm not writing this post to tell you that. Ever since I saw Meek pitch in spring training, I've been worried. He had shoulder surgery last summer and hasn't been the same guy since. The fastball velocity is way down and it's clear that he isn't the kind of pitcher that can be effective without the big velocity (at least not...

Pirates send Evan Meek back to minors
The Pirates optioned right-hander Evan Meek to Triple-A Indianapolis after Monday night's game with instructions to sharpen the location on his fastball.
Manager Clint Hurdle said he wasn't ready to announce a corresponding move.
Meek allowed three inherited runs to score and was charged with one earned run in 1 2-3 innings against the Braves on Friday night.
He had a...

Evan Meek optioned to AAA
#pirates option Meek to Indianapolis
— Tom Singer (@Tom_Singer) May 1, 2012
No corresponding move has yet been made, but one would have to assume that it will be either Doug Slaten, Daniel Moskos, or Daniel McCutchen, and most likely in that order.
Evan Meek has struggled so far this year with a 5.59 ERA over 9 2/3 innings.
Slaten has a 0.69 ERA over 13 innings for Indianapolis...
