Here is a full and complete list of things the Pirates did at the Winter Meetings today (THAT WE KNOW ABOUT):
- Claimed Josh Lindblom and ditched some guy that you and I both forgot they had claimed at some point in the last five months.
- My Josh Lindblom scouting report: he is a human being.
- Gave a front office job to Kevin Young. Yes, that Kevin Young.
- Gave a front office job to Grady Little. Yes, that Grady Little.
I suspect that tomorrow will be much more interesting; it certainly looks like Jon Lester will sign tomorrow, while the A’s and White Sox are close to finalizing a Jeff Samardzija trade. That would certainly seem to indicate that the starting pitching market is about to start moving, and once that happens, the Pirates are going to have to go with it.
