Minor Trade Made
The Pittsburgh Pirates have had 1B Bill Hinchman on the trading block for a couple weeks now so we decided to make an offer. We offered up little used 3B Jack Stansbury and the offer was accepted, this deal was positive from a roster perspective as It gives us a backup 1B who can also play LF/RF albeit not that well. It also give us both a RHB and LHB at that position. Stansbury is better defensively and Hinchman better offensively. I kind of hate to lose Stansbury’s Blue Sacrifice bunt rating as we will miss it in this dead ball era of speed/pitching and fundamentals. This deal adds almost $3,000 to our parole also. I don’t expect either player to see much PT as they have a whopping 32 PA between them this season.
