E.D.

Who said the Pirates have been inactive this winter?

E.D.

When I saw the initials E.D.,I didn't think of Elmer Dessens, I thought of erectile dysfunction which pretty well describes the Pirates offseason...

Dessens had an abbreviated stint

here in Japan with the Yomiuri Giants in 1999 as a teammate of Masumi Kuwata. Maybe the thinking is that the Pirates want to collect as many washed-up pitchers as possible who aren`t even good enough to pitch in Japan. There are still a few other cheap rejects out there.

Elmer

Dessens was great for the Reds (and my roto team) in 2002 -- a 3.03 ERA in 30 starts. Of course, it will probably be 9.09 in 2008.

The numbers on that A-ball shortstop sure don't look promising.
