The money quote: "The Pirates don’t need Church to be even an average player for this deal to work – Church is a virtual lock to be worth 1.5 million dollars, and on a one year deal, it would be hard for this move to make any sort of dent into the Pirates future. Church is a perfect fit for a a rebuilding team like the Pirates."
