Roster Watch: Jeff Clement
This one should be easy as the Pirates already made the right decision with Jeff Clement. Clement has been a flop at the major league level. Not that the Pirates gave up much for him. Really have to think the Pirates made out in that deal just by acquiring Ronny Cedeno. Clement was a longshot [...]

A Healthy Clement Ready for Opportunity with Pittsburgh
It’s been a long journey back to the big leagues for Jeff Clement. But on Friday, the first baseman was given the opportunity to battle his way back when the Pirates selected him from Triple-A Indianapolis to join the club in Pittsburgh.
Clement, who was Pittsburgh’s Opening Day first baseman in 2010, made his last appearance in a Major League game with the Pirates on August...
Pirates call up Jeff Clement
The Pirates have called up Jeff Clement from Triple-A Indianapolis and swapped Yamaico Navarro to Indy to clear his spot. Clement will be back in the majors for the first time since 2010.
This isn’t a very big move by any means; just a bench swap. Clement provides some power from the left side, and has had a pretty solid and consistent season in Indianapolis. He hit 16 homers with...
First Pitch: Will We See the First Base Prospects Move Up?
In the top three levels of the minors, the Pittsburgh Pirates have three first base prospects who look close to deserving a promotion.
In Triple-A, Jeff Clement has been on a tear this year. Clement hit his 14th homer of the year on Friday night, and currently has a .297/.360/.529 line in 333 at-bats this year. A big difference this year is that his knee is finally healthy, giving...
Should the Pirates Give Jeff Clement a Chance?
The Pirates made Jeff Clement their starting first baseman for the beginning of the 2009 season, and Clement didn't give them much. He hit .201/.237/.368 in 54 games before being sent down to the minors. He had a rough go of it in 2010 and 2011 suffering from injuries that limited him to just 73 games in those years combined. However, he was healthy starting the 2012 season...

Does Jeff Clement deserve another chance?
As Pat over at WHYGAVS mentioned earlier today, it is amazing that we are even discussing Jeff Clement.
If you remember correctly, Clement broke camp as the Pirates’ starting first baseman in 2010 after he was acquired from Seattle in 2009 in the trade that sent Jack Wilson and Ian Snell to the Mariners. He didn’t fare too well hitting just .201/.237/.368. He struck out in 24...
I can't believe I'm writing about Jeff Clement, but I'm writing about Jeff Clement
After spending two years off the map nursing various injuries, Jeff Clement is killing the ball in Triple-A in 2012. Through 47 games, he's hitting .321/.403/.562 with seven homers, 16 doubles, and a triple. He's drawn 23 walks and struck out 35 times in 186 plate appearances. He's particularly on fire right now; five of those homers and four of those doubles (and the...
