There is one at Primer. So far, folks have guessed the following players will sign with Pittsburgh:
Castilla, Vinny
Nelson, Jeff
Counsell, Craig
Sexson, Richie
Burnitz, Jeremy
Alomar, Roberto
Dye, Jermaine
Larkin, Barry
Valentin, Jose
Glaus, Troy
Halama, John
Randa, Joe
Gonzalez, Juan
Koskie, Corey
Mabry, John
Nomo, Hideo
Finley, Steve
Reese, Pokey
Lieber, Jon
Perez, Odalis
Kent, Jeff
Alfonseca, Antonio
Some of that is crazy talk. Burnitz is cheap left-handed power so that could make sense. A lefthanded starter like Odalis or Halama would also fit an obvious immediate need. My guess is the Pirates don't sign a third baseman and just go with Wigginton for a year.
Charlie wrote about the Klesko-for-Kendall rumors a few days ago. I've been thinking about it and this could work for the Bucs. As much as I'd hate to lose Kendall, it's probably not right to have one guy making a whole shitload more than everyone else. We saw what happened in Texas when they unloaded Alex Rodriguez. And we have a number of very good catching prospects who are worth a look.
