Pirates Claim Williams Jerez

By Jeff Todd | September 13, 2019 at 3:10pm CDT

The Pirates have claimed southpaw Williams Jerez off waivers from the Giants, per a club announcement. Righty Kyle Crick — another former Giant who was injured recently in memorable fashion — was moved to the 60-day injured list to create roster space.

Jerez had been designated for assignment after a brief MLB showing with the San Francisco club, during which he walked six hitters over six innings. He had earned the promotion with a promising showing at the Triple-A level. In 56 innings on the year, Jerez carried a 3.86 ERA with 9.8 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9. He limited left-handed hitters to a paltry .174/.260/.314 collective batting line.

The Bucs will utilize Jerez in the majors late in 2019, the team has announced. He’ll have an opportunity to stake a claim to holding a 40-man spot throughout the winter. Ironically, he’ll also join Chris Stratton in Pittsburgh after being dealt for him late in Spring Training, as Jeff Fletcher of the Southern California News Group notes on Twitter.

    One has to wonder if Kyle Crick ever throws another pitch for the Pirates.

      As a Pirate fan, I certainly hope he doesn’t.

      It WASN’T his fault, for what it’s worth. But I do get that they would stick with the head case lights out closer if they had to make a move.

    Because… why not? He simply can’t be worse than quite a number of guys the Bucs have already tried this year.

    The Pirates have a real soft spot for SF’s castoffs.

      Maybe you should re-read your comment, pause and think about what you just said, and then wonder who the real idiot really is.

      While you are at it, look up the 2019 post trade deadline rules, and look up the multitude of theories on organization depth.

      Idiot.

      In the future, think, pause, THEN type.

        Clepto is probably tired of the numerous inane comments on this site.
        Many teams pick up waived players at this time of year.Rios and Wang have actually pitched fairly well for Pittsburgh this year and they were picked up in this manner.
        Clepto’s mistake is that he thinks that all posters actually can think.

          They are not tanking.
          Half their pitching staff is not even good in AAA.
          Tanking leaves no guarantees that you will ever be good.
          No,the Pirates right now are not a very good team.They are very good against bad teams,and very bad against good teams.Unfortunately,there are many more of the latter.
