Jason Jaramillo and Pedro Ciriaco Designated For Assignment

PrintThis is being reported by the Pirates. I'm a little surprised that the team didn't DFA pitchers Jeremy Hefner or Ross Ohlendorf. I would imagine they will make an effort to keep both players in the organization, with Jaramillo being the higher priority. The team's lack of depth at catcher would suggest to me that he may well like to come back. This means the 40-man roster is now full and if the Pirates are going to make a selection in the Rule 5 draft they will have to clear another roster spot. At this point I would be surprised if the team does make a pick, picking eighth.

don’t they have to have an open 40-man slot by a certain date to make a Rule 5 selection? Is it the morning of…or a longer period of time?

If they were going to outright someone before the Rule 5...
it had to be done Monday (and outright waivers had to be requested by 12/1 according to MLB important dates). I don’t know for sure exactly how that plays into DFA a player the day before the draft, unless it limits their options to a trade or release.

#Pirates GM says he hasn’t yet decided if team will make a Rule 5 pick tomorrow. Midnite deadline to clear a roster space if they do.

Unless there is a trade or signing brewing...
why wouldn’t they know if they are going to make a pick tomorrow?
Like NH is going to tell anyone?

Umm...

#Pirates have acquired INF Yamaico Navarro from the Royals in exchange for Minor Leaguers Brooks Pounders and Diego Goris
And he goes on the 40 man roster…so if there is going to be a Rule 5 pick, it will mean 2 moves.
So, what does this tell you?
NH isn’t leaking any rumours – he’s making deals…
Doesn’t mean 2 more aren’t coming off the roster.

Well…Ohlendorf is one, reportedly to open a spot for a Rule 5 pick…and supposedly another one coming tomorrow to add Navarro. That would be 2.
See?
I was right.

…you were wrong.

Yes, you are probably correct....
doesn’t hurt to take a look at someone, but it will be interesting to see who they designate at that point. Hefner’s made it through three moves so far….

There are better pitchers than Hefner available. Hefner’s big advantage is that he can be optioned to AAA.
Yeah, it's kind of a crapshoot.
Sometimes, a guy catches the eye of the right scout, and that’s all it takes.
I'd like to think we could find better ways to use a roster spot at this point
than picking someone at #8, but maybe the Bucs get lucky and someone they really like falls to them, not of the caliber of Raynor or Josh Rod.

my next prediction: Maholm resigns with the pirates for 2 years

My money is still on a trade...
… it seems to be NH’s m.o. to come out of nowhere with stuff. I bet it’s a great pick up, but nothing currently out on other teams radar.
I could feel his muscle tissues collapse under my force. It's ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm. ~~ Mike Tyson

Awesome.
Hopefully Ohlendorf is next. I have no idea why he has not been non-tendered.
Should the Pirates keep Neal Huntington?

DAMNIT
we must have pissed off the Baseball Gods — we DFA’d Ciriaco…and now Western PA is getting a boatload of snow.
Great.

If it makes y'all feel better
It’s been bitingly cold here lately as well

Twenty-nine GMs are now wondering who is that mysterious masked man on the waiver wire.
Occupy MLB! Down with Seligula!

Pedro Ciriaco’s agent, Juancho Diablero, appears to have leaked a video of him holding a fat manila envelope and blowing kisses. The 29 GM’s, when asked about the sudden availability of Ciriaco, all said “Who?!?”

In
other news, someone (I’m too lazy just to check on mlbtraderumors again; its like 3 pages back), maybe the Tigers? signed Argenis Diaz. Do we still have Hunter Strickland? Thanks alot Adam LaRoche.
Anyway..do y’all remember when Mario and Luigi were the future, along with our ace Bryan Morris..? /Shudder
And in other, other news, it’s finals week #1 and my brain is turning to mush.

Lack of depth at catcher???

#Pirates Rumor of Day: They would like to trade for #Mets 1B Ike Davis but New York apparently wants Starling Marte, Brad Lincoln in return.
In a second
I can’t imagine this is actually on the table or else it would be a done deal

NH: IF YOU ARE READING THIS
GET A DAMN PHYSICAL ON IKE DAVIS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you.

I’m sure that would have never crossed his mind if you hadn’t reminded him.
by thecheeseisblue on Dec 7, 2011 10:38 PM EST up reply actions
considering
he has pulled the trigger on a trade before…without one…
by insane_sanity on Dec 7, 2011 10:40 PM EST up reply actions
OMFG
can this just be a thing of the past, once and for all?
IT WAS ONE TIME, a couple of YEARS AGO.
Sorry, but… sheesh.

uncalled for, man.
Many throw around sarcasm here — including yourself…and when he (apparently) didn’t get it, I clarified.
If you don’t like the fact I referred to then I’m DAMN sorry, but it doesn’t change the fact that it happened. Don’t have to be an ass.
by insane_sanity on Dec 7, 2011 11:08 PM EST up reply actions
As I said in MY post, "Sorry"
I also don’t see where you clarified anywhere in your response that you were being sarcastic in your first.
Sorry, again.

Plus, he passed his physical in spring training.

it was an ankle — ended up not needing surgery, but apparently microfracture was discussed.
The most recent post I’m seeing about it is from September, here. Didn’t do a lot of homework…but enough to think about.

He missed pretty significant time
and if I remember correctly (although I was dissociated from the world for about a month this summer) there were some different rumors on its severity

I'm so bummed out that Ciriaco won't be around any more!
I mean, didn’t someone put up the factoid sometime during the season that he had the best average on the team with runners on?!?! Or he was our best pinch hitter in terms of average?!?!?! Or somethin’…like… good?
There’s no hope for 2012… yep, we’re punting….
