Unrelated to the Pirates, from PFT
In a complaint that reads like the rape allegations made several years ago against NBA star Kobe Bryant, Harrah’s employee Andrea McNulty alleges sexual assault against Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in a lawsuit filed last week in Washoe County, Nevada.

He should have stayed in Tahoe. It’s much nicer. Single deck blackjack on weekdays and the lake is beautiful. Reno is a good hour or hour and 1/2 away, back to SF. But the airport at Tahoe sucks, so maybe Ben was flying in and out of Reno.

I like

him in the bullpen. I think it fits him well. And I think VV is a stopper until Gorzo comes up in September when he can’t get those 42 days to reach 3 years of service.

DK

has said something like that for a while in response to questions about Gorzo

by Green_Wave on Jul 20, 2009 11:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

As of today...

Gorzo has 2 years and 98 days service…including 24 days this year. He cannot meet the “Super Two” requirement if he doesn’t spend more than 86 days on the roster this season…per the CBA. that means anything less than 62 days on the roster the remainder of the season is fine. After about August 6th…if he gets called up…he CANNOT get a “Super Two” designation.

by Thunder on Jul 20, 2009 11:36 PM EDT up reply actions  

Excerpt

from DK’s chat today

SeanE: Is Gorzo being kept in Indy for purely financial reasons at this point?

Dejan Kovacevic: Only the Pirates know that. As mentioned in the coverage a couple of times — and I assume you’re citing this — Gorzelanny needs 42 more days of major league service time to qualify for arbitration. Thus, if he is recalled in September, the Pirates avoid that.

by Green_Wave on Jul 20, 2009 11:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

One of the requirements for “Super Two” status is that the player be on the roster for 86 days in the season preceding arbitration. Gorzelanny CANNOT meet that requirement without spending 62 days more on the roster. Unfortunately…that word seems to not get through to people.

by Thunder on Jul 20, 2009 11:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well

I’ll take your word on it over others

by Green_Wave on Jul 20, 2009 11:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

I just emailed Dejan for a clarification. Either Cot’s is wrong…or the Pirates aren’t figuring things the same way I am.

This is one of those rare times...

where a save can be awarded with a 5 run lead…if Karstens finishes the game. If a pitcher finishes a game by pitching at least 3 innings…it doesn’t matter how big the lead is.
