		<description><![CDATA[While other teams are interested, it looks like the Pirates have turned into the favorites to land A.J. Burnett from the Yankees.  He still have two more years on a big contract and while he struggled at times last year, it&#8217;s hard to deny Burnett doesn&#8217;t still have the stuff.  Still, this is a guy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MLB.com put out their list of top prospects and the ninth best was Pirates pitcher Jameson Taillon.  He pitched in the SALLY League as a 19 year old all season and while they really watched his work, he held his own.  He struck out 97 in 92 2/3 innings in 23 starts.  He finished only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Pirates locked up a couple of arbitration eligible players and that&#8217;ll limit the number of times they&#8217;ll have to go to the table. Jeff Karstens was given a $3.1 million deal and Evan Meek was given an $875,000 deal.  Karstens was solid in 162 2/3 innings and he&#8217;ll most likely be in the rotation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Pirates avoided arbitration with Chris Resop and they agreed on a one year deal with the reliever.  We don&#8217;t have the numbers but my guess is, it was a little less than, but right around a million.  Resop was scooped up by the Pirates off of waivers in 2010 and had his moments with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Pirates pulled the trigger on a trade as they traded setup man Jose Veras to the Milwaukee Brewers for third baseman Casey McGehee.  After the Brewers picked up Aramis Ramirez, McGehee was expendable and he could be an interesting haul.  He had a career year in 2010 but in 2010 he hit just .223.

		<description><![CDATA[The Pirates signed Nick Evans to a minor league deal and he&#8217;ll get a chance to compete for the first base job come spring training.  Evans was a fifth round pick by the Mets way back in 2004 and he&#8217;s been with the Met&#8217;s organization ever since until they cut him loose.  He&#8217;s pretty much [...]]]></description>
