    Marte 7 Jones 9 Cutch 8 Pedro 5 Gaby 3 Walker 4 Martin 2 Barmes 6 Wandy 1 It's like deja vu all over again.

    My numbers for Wandy might be wrong. There was a piece in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette today that said Wandy is gettin $13m, with $5m paid by the 'Stros, hence the $8m I came up with today. The Article aslo has Martin at $8.5m. Baseball Prospectus has the Pirates paying Wandy $8.5m, AJ $8m, Martin $7.5m ETA: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/compensation/index.php?team=PIT&cyear=2013

    He is and it's pretty awesome. Houston is paying him $5M and the next highest guy is Bud Norris at $3M. Pittsburgh is paying him the remaining $8.5M and while Burnett is making $16.5M, the Yankees are paying him $8.5M so Pittsburgh is only on the hook for $8M. Saw this after my post...

    Yeah I definitely can see us finishing with a better record and I wouldn't be surprised, I too thought/think they are a little better though. I think their lineup is a little deeper (or at least their bad isn't as bad as our bad), they play a little bit better defense, and they do have Cole/Taillon waiting in the wings that could give their rotation a boost over ours. Yeah the bullpen is a definite edge, but as you said that can change pretty quickly year-to-year. I think them and us as if both rosters stay about the same throughout the year without big injuries/trades are 75 win teams +/- 5. Cole will be up in June, Taillon next year.

    It's close. He's second on our team to AJ, but with the Yankees paying some of AJ's salary and the 'Stros paying some of Wandy's both are being paid $8 million, which would be tied for second to Russell Martin's $8.5 million. $2m of Martin's $8.5m for this year is considered a signing bonus (He got the money up front), so, technically, on some level, he is the highest paid player for two teams.

    Was this about our lineup or yours?

    Lirano is hurt. Non throwing arm. Deal in jeopardy, though not dead yet.
  15. Jake
    Best guess is post all star game. Keep in mind he's had exactly 1 AAA start and it didn't go well at all. Team is doing well and he's doing well, that's my best guess. I think a lot of it depends on circumstance. If the team is playing like Houston played last year, I don't see him coming up until September. If the team is floundering early and the pitching isn't getting the job done, and he does well his first couple of starts @ Indy, I wouldn't be surprised to see him early May.

    FWIW, the updates are now $13M for 2 years. I like this. Before this, we had 2 rookies slotted for 4 & 5. Now we only need one of them. His being left handed will play well @ PNC. An overpay to be sure, but that's what we need to do. If he wins 10 games and keeps his ERA under 5, this is a good deal.

    Oh, and about DK, who wrote that article - he's having way too much fun with it. Almost becoming the story himself. Sad. Used to be a good journalist. Moved over to a paper that thirves on sensationalist journalism and started becoming more sensationalist himself.
  18. Jake
    Was wondering if that would get any mention here. These guys need to go.
