Why on earth does Pittsburgh want a guy like Izturis?

So they can trade Jack Wilson.

Great news. i dont care about how much cash trades hands or who they get in return.

[otis89]

Awesome!

[David]

I love getting rid of bad players.

 

Now, if we could just dump off that Hank White contract... (yea, I know, he just might be our best hitting catcher right now), along with Jones and Eyre, I'd have nobody to dislike on the team anymore.

Uh, no. Izturis being traded deserves plenty of threads. :P

[Derwood]

Bay, Snell or Gorzellany please ;)

I posted this in the other thread, but since this is more topical I'll repost here:

 

Bautista is on the DL, and the Pirates really have no confidence in Castillo. I think there's a chance that they move Sanchez to 3B and play Izturis at 2B. They also might just play Izturis at 3B until Bautista comes back.

And I believe we later got Brown back again.

[UMFan83]

Bay, Snell or Gorzellany please ;)

 

Ugh, I don't know if I even want Bay. He is hitting .156 since June 1st.

[BleacherBadger]

So, currently, we gave izturis and cash to Pittsburgh for...nothing.

 

That's really going to help Ceasar's confidence.

Cubs are eating 2/3 of Izturis's remaining salary
