Pirates Acquire Preston Guilmet From Orioles

By Jeff Todd | October 3, 2014 at 5:34pm CDT

The Pirates have acquired minor league righty Preston Guilmet from the Orioles in exchange for cash considerations, Baltimore announced. Guilmet was recently designated for assignment by the O’s.

The 27-year-old had mixed results with Baltimore this year at the big league level. Over 10 1/3 innings, he struck out 12 against just two walks, but he also yielded six earned. The former Indians farmhand also had a cup of coffee with Cleveland. Though his earned run mark rose at Triple-A Norfolk this year, Guilmet continued to post appealing K/BB figures, striking out 10.1 and walking only 1.9 batters per nine.

As of yet, those solid minor league numbers have not yet resulted in much of a chance at the big league level. As MLBTR’s Charlie Wilmoth noted upon Guilmet’s DFA, that could be due to the fact that he tops out in the low 90s and is not a groundball producer.

    worth a shot to see if Benedict, et al, can work their magic on another pitcher with tools.

      The way the Bucs’ pen has allowed walks, anyone with a 5:1 K/BB ratio deserves a look. Maybe he becomes what Bryan Morris was supposed to become for Pittsburgh.
