Perrotto: Sign Casey

John Perrotto argues the team should sign Casey.

I agree. Handled properly, he's a 900 OPS guy. I wrote a dissertation on this subject over the winter.

It's true he could fall off the cliff, but any player could. Old players suddenly lose all their skills more frequently than young players, but this also happens to *cough cough Oliver Perez* young players. Some fear that a player will turn into a pumpkin cannot overwhelm more rational projections of future performance.

So long as the Pirates are prepared to give Sean Casey lots of time off, they will get good production from him at the plate.
