I should put this in the offseason thread, but so much less than I thought was going to happen this offseason has, so...I don't know.

Church had his worst OPS since he was an Expo last season, so a bounce back is possible. I could seriously see him being moved at the deadline if he ends up earning playing time, anyway. Pretty much a risk free, reward free signing.Pirates signed OF Ryan Church to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.
Church can make another $1.32 million via performance-based incentives based on the number of plate appearances he makes during the upcoming season. The 31-year-old hit .273/.338/.384 with four home runs and 40 RBI last year and will battle for playing time in the Pittsburgh outfield.
