Latin signings and Doumit back tonight E-mail

Jen Langosch just wrote on her blog that Ryan Doumit will re-join the Pirates a little early, making his return against Philadelphia tonight. She seems to think either Diaz or Jaramillo will be demoted to make room, though it could probably be Jeff Salazar or Luis Cruz just as easily.

Meanwhile, DK has a writeup of six Latin American signings the Pirates announced today. I don't know anything about any of these guys; I think they're pretty under the radar names. I mean, one is from Honduras, which sports Gerald Young as their only big leaguer. And no, no word on Sano yet.

I've heard speculation that Diaz and Jaramillo could both be on the ML roster once Doumit comes back.

Some people seem to think that once LaRoche is gone Jones and Diaz could split time at first as they both have experience there, with Jaramillo as the primary backup C and Z as the emergency backup.

You should post a link to the mlb.com story of Hanrahan getting a win for the Nationals yesterday and Nijmo! scoring the winning run. I wonder if that's ever happened before.

I see where He Of The Pointy Hair And Hardened Arteries has upped the ante from 100 losses this year to 110 for next season. I expect to see his comparison of this year's Bucs to the '62 Mets and 1890 Cleveland Spiders any day now; it should be a fascinating piece, as he covered both clubs.

What are the Royals doing? They just traded one of their top pitching prospects for Betancourt.

I'll be there tonight-- as one of the few Bucs fans in attendance, I fully expect to be brought out of the crowd and asked to play a few innings at 2b.
