Pirates sign Bobby Crosby for some reason

[Saber]

1 year $1 million with a 500K playing time incentive.

Remember when he was Rookie of the Year?

[Witlon]

I'm assuming this is guaranteed money. It's not a bad price to take a shot at the potential, and he'd likely be an upgrade over Ronny Cedeno offensively.

Otherwise, he's a hit-first utility infielder that can play SS, 3B and 1B. I'm not against this deal at all.

[Saber]

You're right, except for the hit part. Compare his last 4 years to Ronny's and cry softly in a corner.

[Witlon]

Change of scenery, 100% health may turn him back into that player. I'm not hoping that he turns into an MVP canidate(like someone projected on MLB Network within the last 2 years.) I'm just hoping he can fill a hole. If not, I'm sure we have some worthless glove-first infielder that can take his spot and we can dump him.

[Kingdom]

He was barely a mediocre player of the year candidate.

[Providence A's]

Good luck Bobert Crosbert.

[Impossibles]

He was barely a mediocre player of the year candidate.

ZING!

2008: Pirates sign AL ROY winner Eric Hinske
2009: Pirates sign AL ROY winner Bobby Crosby.

I hope Angel Berroa's agent is calling the Buccos.

[Kingdom]

Suppose Dontrelle Willis is on their radar? In a couple of years, Geovany Soto will definitely be acquired for a hand full of sunflower seeds.

Any SS who was once hyped or showed a glimmer of hope or talent early on (Berroa, Khlalil Greene, Crosby, etc) will always find work, especially when they are still under 30. Its the rule of the offseason.
