Pirates Journal

The Jays stole Tomo Okha from us, so now the Pirates are looking to sign Tony Armas.  I like this a little bit better because despite Armas’ injury problems, he has a better upside.  He looked poised to breakout a few years ago but then injuries pretty much derailed his career.  He was pretty much healthy last year with the Nationals, but his numbers weren’t up to snuff.  It sure would be nice if that was a tune up year and he really gets down to business in 2007, preferably with the Pirates.
