The Allure Of Tyler Yates Too Strong For Pirates To Ignore
Proving one more time that power arms still cause a stir in the loins of baseball executives, the Pittsburgh Pirates have signed Tyler Yates. Yes. Again. Affection has always surrounded Yates in Pittsburgh, as it’s quite apparent the front office sees something it likes in this 6′4″ pitcher from Hawaii. The Pirates fans have a special affection for the right-handed...

Pirates Re-Sign Tyler Yates
The Pittsburgh Pirates have re-signed reliever Tyler Yates, according to Matt Eddy of Baseball America. This is a minor league contract, and presumably includes an invite to Spring Training, similar to when the Pirates re-signed Yates last year. They first acquired the right handed reliever in 2008, in a trade with the Atlanta Braves prior [...]

Pirates sign Brian Burres, Neal Cotts, Tyler Yates
The Pittsburgh Pirates signed Brian Burres, Neal Cotts, and Tyler Yates to minor league contracts today. Burres and Cotts are both left handed, and we're all familiar with the right handed Yates.
Burres turns 29 in April, and has 265 career innings in the majors, with a 6.08 ERA, a 5.7 K/9, a 1.39 K/BB, and a 1.1 HR/9. Burres has mostly been a starter in his career, with...

Yates' perseverance may lead him to Bucs' 'pen
Tyler Yates contemplated moving back to Hawaii and becoming a firefighter last year when he had another setback with his elbow. A call to his dad changed his mind and he gave baseball one more chance. Now, he's a candidate to make the Pirates' bullpen.

Pirates Notebook: I Love the Bullpen
If there's one thing I like about the 7-5 start to the season, it's the bullpen. I'm very comfortable with this bullpen when the Pirates are holding a lead, or when they're trying to stay in the game. That wasn't exactly the case in years past. There was Matt Capps bombing last year. There have been guys like Tyler Yates and Denny Bautista blowing up in the middle innings...

Back to baseball
Some quick notes:
The Bucs are [reportedly still pursuing reliever Will Ohman]. That’s good to see, because our bullpen is likely going to be a huge mess. Ohman would add a nice lefty presence and is a very credible middle reliever. He’d be a much better last-minute addition than Tyler Yates was last year.

Game 3: Pirates 4 Braves 3
This has been a crazy, crazy week. After three days, the Pirates have been outscored by the Braves 24-18. They've seen both of their starting middle infielders get hurt, made a bunch of errors, used Tyler Yates in three straight games, and had their best start come from Zach Duke. Somehow, the Pirat...

My Thoughts on Russell, And His Replacment
I didn't write anything about this yesterday because, quite frankly, I wanted to sleep on it. The Pirates firing of Russell came as no surprise to anyone who follows the team. Someone has to go down after three seasons like we have seen, and Russell really gave no indication he was a big league manager. His ingame decisions were often baffling (pulling Duke up a ton with 2 out...
