Washed up guys is exactly what the Pirates will be looking to add.

None of the SI guys should be approached. SI only thinks they fit because they are likely washed up or not a good fit with any other team. Kind of like giving Mikey the bowl of Life cereal.

I would take a shot at Loney because he is young enough to be around a while and was once highly regarded. It depends on what he would want to sign here.

Harang – 3.05 at home and 4.70 on the road

Barmes isn’t an upgrade over Cedeno either.

Jones is terrible, you have to be kidding, Hague should be at 1B.

Laird has a career .241 average, no thanks, I would rather play Fort McHenry. Kotchman is garbage, would rather start Hague. Lee, yes but he won’t sign with Pittsburgh and has already made that clear. Francis and Capuano, whatever, Maholm is better than both.

Loney i do believe was resigned i think. I like Loney. Laird and Ramon Hernandez would upgrade the catching position at Doumit cost. Kotchman will be a bit cheaper then Lee if Lee doesnt want to be a Pirate. SS position hmmm – Clint Barmes reminds me of Bobby Crosby so not sure on that position i might look at trades. – Starting pitching- Harang, Francis , Bruce Chen, Chris Capuano, Chris Young some of the guys to look at there.

Play Jones @ 1st, sign Doumit for less $, let McHenry play.

if hes let go, i recommend James Loney of the Dodgers. even if hes not, he could be had in a fair deal, IMO.

really good hitter away from Dodger stadium his whole career.

Aaron Harang, Gerald Laird, Casey Kotchman, Derrek Lee, Clint Barmes, Jeff Francis, Chris Capuano some of the list the pirates should be interested in
