Right around the time the Pirates signed Ramon Vazquez to a multi-year deal (if there's one thing the Pirates need to turn this shit around, it's more utility infielders) I swore off the Pirates for the remainder of the offseason. No joke. I've completely shut myself off from their moves. I've ignored everything that might remind me of the Pirates.
Up until about, a week ago, I had absolutely no idea if they added or (hopefully) subtracted from the roster.
Earlier this week, I decided to check in and see what I may have missed, holding out some sort of faint hope that they pulled off a blockbuster, franchise-changing trade. Something that would get me interested in the fact spring training is roughly two weeks away.
I noticed only one new name on the roster from the most recent time I checked.
Eric Hinske.Yeah. That pretty much sums it up.
Oh, they also have
new uniforms.
Actually, I like them. The sleeveless look just didn't do it for me. Eric Hinske and Ramon Vazquez are going to look
awesome in these new ones.
