I don't know what's sadder - that the Pirates are apparently going to trade two players from the 40-man roster for Matt Morris, or that it doesn't even matter. They've got so much junk on the 40-man, so the second player - who's apparently going a pitcher, by the way - could be Romulo Sanchez, or Josh Shortslef, or Sean Burnett, or Brian Rogers, or Bryan Bullington, or John Van Benschoten, or Juan Perez. The Pirates have so many terrible pitchers on the 40-man that learning the PTBNL will be from that group actually comes as somewhat of a relief.
