Vizcaino Close With Bucs, Rox
Ken Rosenthal is reporting that Luis Vizcaino is close to signing a multi-year deal with either the Pirates or the Rockies. The righty reliever rejected arbitration the Yankees offer of arbitration.
I'm not quite sure why the Pirates are looking to sign a middle reliever to a multi-year deal. He makes far more sense for the Rox, who figure to contend next year. They're looking to replace LaTroy Hawkins, and could probably get similar production from The Viz.
After posting ERAs under 4.00 from 2004 through 2006, Vizcaino topped that threshold this year. While he was solid for three months of the season, he was absolutely atrocious for the other three.

The Viz will do better in the NL. Hell, who doesn't?

Anyone know what sandwich pick the Yanks would get if Viz signed with the Bucs?
I know the sandwich picks are between the 1st and 2nd rd...usually picks 31-45. Anyone know how that order is determined?
