PTNBL in Young trade named

The Pirates have sent Eric Krebs, a pitcher, from the Curve to the Dodgers to complete the Delwyn Young trade.

Trade completed

I've also seen third hand reports that Brad Corley has been sent to the Rockies for future considerations, but haven't seen official word on that yet. He hadn't shown any real progress at Altoona, hitting only .221 before being shuffled off the roster a few days ago. Sounds like a mutually agreeable separation.

Corley leaving

Krebs could make it as a ML reliever

Good stuff, just needs to stay healthy (and get back to throwing strikes).

Corley is toast, but I wish him well anyway. Maybe they’ll try him as a pitcher in a year or two – IIRC, he’s got a pretty good arm.

Corley doubled as a closer in college. Threw an inning this year in a blowout.

I'd say it's a better bet that Delwyn Young

will be a productive pinch-hitter/spot starter for us the next few years than Eric Krebs doing much for the Dodgers.

The Young trade was another small, but meaningful, step in the right direction for the PBC.

With the Pirates, it could be a huge step. You just never know what is going to happen in Pittsburgh.
