Pirates Want Nomar

by Charlie Wilmoth on Dec 2, 2005 1:05 AM EST in News

Here's something for the thread below. Signing Garciaparra would make a ton of sense for the Pirates - he's the only third baseman left on the free agent market who's a potential middle-of-the-order, impact bat. Signing him would be a refreshingly high-risk, high-reward move for the Pirates.

Whether he'd be willing to play third for the Pirates is open to question, but I'm still glad I'm reading this article about Nomar instead of Wes Helms or Scott Spiezio.

Further down the article, the Pirates' ticket sales are up, which, again, could be good news, or it could be no news at all.

Nomar

Nomar is kind of the name my friends and I have been semi-seriously kicking around for months now (since he came to town and killed us I think). I think he'd play third, but I don't know if he'd play for us. And of course, now we have to wonder about everything the Trib says. I think a couple teams have to pass on Nomar before he ends up in the 'Burgh.
