Pirates ship Hinske to the Yankees

According to the PG, the Pirates have traded outfielder Eric Hinske to the New York Yankees for catcher/outfielder Eric Fryer and pitcher Casey Erickson. Erickson was a 10th round pick in 2006 and is a reliever in A with average numbers. He has started a couple games and was a starter the previous year. Fryer was also a 10th round pick (by Milwaukee) in 2007. He was traded to NY for Chase Wright back in February. He's been at high A Tampa. Not much of a year this year, but last season posted good numbers for West Virginia (.914 OPS). Nothing much to get too excited about, but not a bad haul for Hinske. We can probably thank Xavier Nady for this. lol I guess we will get to see a little more of Steve Pearce now.
