Pirates Rumors: Bay, Nady, Capps
Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has a few new Pirates tidbits today.
- Jason Bay expressed displeasure with the Pirates' lack of activity, but his comments were respectful. He hopes to stay with the Bucs and win. Bay says he "found a whole different level of being in shape" this winter, which bodes well for a bounceback.
- Kovacevic says Neal Huntington and Kevin Towers have been in touch this week regarding Xavier Nady but nothing is close. Towers admitted publicly that he was looking at Nady and Matt Murton.
- There's been "little progress" on a multiyear deal for Matt Capps. The Pirates approached Capps earlier this month with three or four-year scenarios in mind.

Hopefully a long-term deal for their closer won't put the Pirates over the "Salary Capps" (haha, ok I'm not funny.)

Um. The whole "best shape of my life" line, it's not super-convincing...

Now I am against moving players around like checkers pieces but trade Murton and a young pitcher in return for K. Greene. Play Greene at shortstop and Theriot at 2nd. Greene has great range and has some pop in his bat. Bat him 6th behind Fukudome and leave Theriot in the two spot. That could be a gold glove combo up the middle.

I feel for Bay, and every other player on that team, and every fan of that team (the few of us that remain). But for once, I'm glad they didn't waste money on a reliever or a middling catcher. Truth be told, this was an anemic free-agent market. While I would love to have seen the team add a veteran starter, a third baseman and a center fielder who can bat leadoff, it wasn't going to happen with the crap that was out there.
In my mind, the first test of the new regime will come with the draft in June. If Pedro Alvarez is sitting there with the No. 2 pick like Baseball America projects and they don't take him and go for a bargain pitcher like Moskos, then nothing has changed and the team is doomed. Again.
Somebody wake me when Crosby gets back on the ice...
