Pirates Journal

The Pirates have apparantly stepped up their pursuit of free agent starter Tomo Okha.  It looks like the Pirates are on of four teams and Okha might be the best guy out there after the Pirates lost out on signing Brian Lawrence.  Okha might not be an All Star, but as far as fifth starters go, the Pirares could do a whole lot worse.  Ohka is 48-58 but he has a career 4.04 ERA for five other teams.
