Bucs are interested in him too. If we're interested in signing someone that can actually be useful as a utility/fourth outfielder in 2009, Hinske scores much higher on the scale than Luis Gonzalez. I have taken this occasion to actually make a new poll, which you can find in the left sidebar.

Nice pickup, in my opinion. It?s a one year deal, and the base salary should be around $1.5M, [according to DK].
Hinske will fill a bench role, and he can play 1B, 3B, LF and RF. He hit 20 HR?s last year with Tampa in a similar role, which is pretty impressive.
He?s not as fiery and [...]

The Hinske signing becomes officialy today, too. The Pirates know better than to announce news the Friday before the Super Bowl, apparently. DK's reporting the terms at one year/$1.5 million. That's really not much money to provide some bench insurance. And it's not Luis Gonzalez.
