Pirates Release Joe Beimel

By Tim Dierkes | August 30, 2011 at 12:17pm CDT

TODAY: The Pirates have released Beimel, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.

AUGUST 23rd: The Pirates announced they've designated lefty reliever Joe Beimel for assignment to open a spot on the active roster for Ross Ohlendorf.

Beimel, 34, has a 5.33 ERA, 6.0 K/9, 3.2 BB/9, 2.1 HR/9, and 41.2% groundball rate with 34 hits allowed in 25 1/3 innings this year after surrendering a longball to Ryan Braun last night.  Several contenders, including the Yankees and Phillies, are known to be seeking a veteran lefty.  Beimel has been decent against left-handed hitters this year, but he's only faced 46 of them.

The Pirates signed Beimel to a minor league deal in January; the southpaw has ties to Pittsburgh.  His yearly salary while in the Majors is $1.75MM.

    Well, I guess the Joe Beimel autograph I got in Denver just went down in value.

        That sounds about right.  This is the same team that gave the Bucs Jeff Karstens, Daniel McCutchen, & Jose Tabata for Xavier Nady & Damaso Marte. 

        It’s too bad that Paul Maholm got hurt, otherwise the Bucs could package him & Joe Beimel for better than whatever the Pirates get from the yanks for Beimel alone.  Although, I have a feeling that as long as the Red Sox are behind the yanks in the standings, the Sox will claim any starting pitching before the New York can act.

    “Beimel has been decent against left-handed hitters this year”

    :confused:

    Lefties have hit .302/.333/.465 vs. Beimel this year, which is only “decent” relative to his line vs. right-handed batters (.333/.408/.619).
