Exactly. Cut him loose, don’t play games.

oh, I’m sure he needs to be on the DL, just not bad enough for a 60 day stint

Who’d they hire to break his ankle, Paulie Walnuts?

Looks like the Pirates really like Nunez, and do not want to have to return him to Detroit. He will likely be in Pittsburgh a very limited amount of time, and will likely have “setbacks” in his health. I suspect he opens ’13 in Altoona

the pirates still have to have a legitimate reason to do this. the players’ union and MLB wont allow this to happen without a true cause.

My guess is, he doesn’t really NEED the 60 day, but they needed the roster spot, and they are going to try and hang onto/hide him as long as they can.

The 60 day DL already? Why bother.
