Mientkiewicz Believes Return To Pirates Unlikely
WEDNESDAY: Dejan Kovacevic talked to Huntington, who "blamed Mientkiewicz's lingering frustration with the team's lack of communication on Mientkiewicz's now-former agent." Huntington said the door remains open for Minky.
MONDAY: First baseman Doug Mientkiewicz told Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com that he doubts he'll return to the Pittsburgh Pirates organization this season.
According to Mientkiewicz, the Pirates have not made an offer or any attempts to get in touch with him as the offseason has progressed. He has not spoken with general manager Neal Huntington or manager John Russell, a close friend of Mientkiewicz's, since the season ended, Langosch wrote.
Mientkiewicz, 35 in June, hit .277 with 30 RBI in 125 games. As a Pirate, he played some third base for the first time in his career.

The only thing important about him is that he kept the ball from the last out of teh 04 World Series.
Did he ever actually give that back? lol

Dang, the Pirates are probably the only team willing to let him play 3b. It was hilarious watching every one of his throws from 3rd short-hop the first baseman.

Exhibit A as to why there are too many MLB teams.

why on earth is this guy's name still around?
"Hi, im a 35 year old, weak hitting 1B. Explain to me why ANY team would find use for me?"
Meanwhile Scott McClain and Todd Linden cant get jobs, mlb is kind of gross sometimes the way it treats certain players....
