Neal Huntington trying to one-up the Jed Lowrie trade… or not.

Now hes gonna throw 200 IP over 2.83 ERA in 2016. Because.. Pirates.

Yup. Perfect get for them. Although he will be a pretty big challenge. Didn’t look like a major league pitcher most recently.

If any team can fix him, it’s Pittsburgh

Need to fix more than one thing in Webster. Loss of velocity and an infusion of guts on the mound, which is something tough to teach. He pitches scared. Hard to be successful when you can’t, or won’t pitch to the inner half of the plate and now that he can’t throw 95 even, when he once could hit 98? 99 and would SIT at 95? Pirates have their work cut out, though I do wish them well. His FB has a real natural sink, which made it hard to get loft on even if could make contact. A perfect candidate for successful pitcher when he had velocity.. Had he the guts to throw inside and stop hitters from diving over the plate.
Wish Pirate coaches luck fixing those 2, though pretty sure he’s out of options and they will have to outright him to the minors, then hope nobody else is thinking the same thing and lays a claim.

Sometimes prospects don’t make it. Webster is one of those guys.

What are cash considerations, Pirates will consider giving them cash? But seriously the amount is determined later somehow?

Pirates give up cash, usually a minor amount that’s pretty inconsequential

Good pickup

Nice grab by the Pirates. Was hoping the Phillies would snag him and give him a chance.
