Pedro Florimon Clears Waivers, Sent to Indianapolis

Published:

After losing Stolmy Pimentel to the Texas Rangers today, the Pittsburgh Pirates were able to retain 28-year-old infielder Pedro Florimon. He has cleared waivers and has been assigned to AAA Indianapolis.

Florimon impressed on defense and with his speed this Spring, but those parts of his game have never been in question. He has a career line of .204/.266/.300 in 214 games in the Majors. He was out of options and didn’t make the 25-man Opening Day roster, so he was designated for assignment last Sunday. Florimon should get plenty of playing time at Indianapolis and he will be a depth option this season.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
