Pirates Acquire Wandy Rodriguez

[love_that_reefer]

I like this move for the Pirates!! The Astros will be paying a lot of his contract and the Pirates upgraded without surrendering top prospects. Wandy is use to the division and adds another lefty to the rotation. I think he will do well for the Pirates and can't wait to see what they do next.

Bob Brenley was saying how it was such a great deal for us to get him because he knows the division and the ballparks.

Unfortunately, the division knows him, too. So there's no element of surprise.

It's not about an element of surprise. It's about being educated about your division. Pitcher's will always hold the upper hand when on the mound.
