Pirates Rumors: Snell, Estrada, Villone

By Tim Dierkes [January 7, 2008 at 8:19am CST]

John Perrotto had some new Pirates' rumblings in yesterday morning's column.

Don't be so quick to dismiss the Ian Snell to Seattle rumor. Perrotto acknowledges it, noting that the Mariners would offer Jeff Clement but the Pirates would probably require Adam Jones.

Perrotto believes the Pirates have backed off their pursuit of Johnny Estrada, though Dejan Kovacevic hasn't heard this. I never thought Estrada made much sense for them.

Perrotto says the Pirates have an eye on free agent lefty Ron Villone, who pitched for them back in '02.

If the Mariners are really thinking about trading for Snell with even Clement.. let alone Clement + Jones... I'm going to die ... and it might actually mean the Pirate's new office is taking advtange of the forever market imbalance... REALLY dumb GM

This won't happen. So seattle don't worry. You will see Jones cruising righ field this year and clement will be behind the plate in 2009
