Pirates Sign Jack Taschner

This is the definition of flyer. Taschner is 31 year old lefty with no history of success with the Giants or the Phillies.

It goes to show that if you throw left-handed, there is always a chance, always a tomorrow.  Taschner can strike a few batters out, but lefties have done well against him and he walks way too many guys.  Another arm in camp for a look.

UPDATE by Charlie: Like dtoddwin says, Tascher isn't very good. Lefties have a .774 OPS against him for his career, so he really can't even be used as a LOOGY. But as a lefty with plenty of major league experience, he'll be vaguely useful to have in the minors. This is apparently a minor league deal, so there's no risk involved.
