The Pirates still might have a chance to nab Adam LaRoche from the Braves. After a deal for Mike Gonzalez fell through at the winter meetings, it now looks like the Yankees of all teams might save the deal. The Yankees would send infielder Melky Cabrera to the Braves, who would send Adam LaRoche to the Pirates. Pittsburgh would then send Mike Gonzalez to the Yankees. Works for me because it gets the Pirates to the same spot. Yeah, Gonzalez has a nice arm and he’s left handed but to get a good power bat in the lineup to help out Jason Bay every day.
