Raised at last

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 18:03:23 -0500

I was beginning to think we might not get to raise it any more this year. Scary thought, but the way the Bucs have been playing, it was an entirely realistic one. Paul Maholm put an end to that. 8 dominant innings, 6 hits, 2 walks, 2 K’s. No runs. On the strength of Maholm’s outing and [...]

Could the Yankees Pursue Paul Maholm?

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 08:05:00 -0500

Right now, things look great for our favorite baseball team. Everything is clicking right now and they're winning baseball games. The starting pitching in particular has looked good since they started the second half. However, their is danger on the horizon for the staff. The Yankees vaunted pitching depth from the start of the year has been diffused by injuries, ineffectiveness, and moves to the bullpen. Joba is approaching his innings limit, Sergio Mitre's position isn't exactly...

A day game?

Sat, 11 Apr 2009 11:48:57 -0500

We've got a weirdly placed afternoon game today, which will feature Paul Maholm and Johnny Cueto on the mound. You'll note that the Reds moved their starter from last night's rainout back a day in the rotation, while the Pirates did not do the same for Jeff Karstens. Both LaRoches are back in today's lineup, while John Russell will be in the dugout with his arm in a sling thanks to surgery to relieve gout in his elbow. Do you really think any other teams have managers that nee...

Pirates Offer Maholm Extension

Sat, 24 Jan 2009 12:48:21 -0500

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is reporting that the Pirates and Paul Maholm are talking about a multi-year deal, hoping to get it completed before their scheduled arbitration hearing. The Pirates would like to lock up Maholm for four years, buying out one year of free agency. With that said, a deal worth 4.5-5.5 million dollars annually would likely get a deal done. Maholm is starting to show signs of an ace, going 9-9 with a 3.71 ERA in 31 games. His salary each year could rise in the deal, which would likely make it more appealing to Maholm.

Let's say the deal is four year deal worth 20 million dollars. He could earn 3 million dollars in 2009, 4 million dollars in 2010, 5 million dollars in 2011, and 8 million dollars in 2012. The Pirates offered 2.65 million dollars to Maholm for the 2009 season, but buying out arbitration years and a free agent year certainly brings up the value of the player. We'll see what happens.

An Open Letter To Pedro Alvarez

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:14:06 -0500

Dear Pedro, I wish you'd been at the at PNC Park on August. In all honesty, there was nothing terribly out of the ordinary about the Pirates/Reds game that night. It was a well-played 5-2 for the Bucs, which included another sparkling performance by starter Paul Maholm. Walking across a bridge to my car after the [...]
