Garrett Olson Clears Waivers

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | April 20, 2011 at 3:58pm CDT

WEDNESDAY: Olson cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A, tweets Colin Dunlap of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

FRIDAY: The Pirates announced that they designated Garrett Olson for assignment to create roster space for another southpaw, Joe Beimel. After a stint on the disabled list due to elbow inflammation, Beimel is set to pitch for the Pirates for the first time since 2003.

Pittsburgh claimed Olson from the Mariners in March and he allowed two hits and three walks in 4 1/3 innings, striking out four and posting a 2.08 ERA. Last year, the 27-year-old posted a 4.54 ERA with 7.4 K/9, 3.6 BB/9 and a 37.1% ground ball rate in 37 2/3 innings of relief with the Mariners. Olson, a 2005 first rounder, started 33 games for the Orioles in 2007-08 before they traded him.

    The Pirates have completed their first goal of 2011, which was to eliminate all things Garrett.

      Except that Snell should be back in the Majors (via the minors) ‘momentarily.’

      Next plan?

    Does the next move involve Cedeño and Chase D’Arnaud?

    I think the Cubs may try to get him. They traded for him once, and then dealt him quickly. But they could use him now, I’m sure.

    Yankees are looking for a lefty for the pen so this could be a way for him to build some value and the Yankees to fill a void rather cheaply. Just a scenario.
