By Dejan Kovacevic | 11:03 a.m. Thursday The Pirates have made initial free-agent inquiries on outfielder Xavier Nady and reliever Ron Villone , but neither is expected to blossom into serious interest until much later in the offseason, if at all. Rather, the team, as it has with most free agents contacted so far, is informing free agents of interest in the event that those players are still available...

I was just reading through the comments on Vlad's excellent post about potential Rule 5 picks, and I got to thinking that one guy the Pirates might actually consider is George Kontos of the Yankees . This isn't a pick I'm necessarily endorsing --I haven't done enough research yet, but the guy I'm most interested in so far is the Rays ' Aneury Rodriguez . But I think the Pirates will think hard about...

By Dejan Kovacevic | 12:40 a.m. Wednesday Pitchers, pitchers, pitchers. Judging by the conversations I've had the past couple days, every where the Pirates are looking, they are looking for pitchers, not so much position players. And maybe there is a reason for that, as one look at the free-agent list for first basemen or outfielders shows Rick Ankeil and Hank Blalock and ... not much else that really...

More photos » by Chris Carlson - AP Would another lefty hitter like Hank Blalock, right, be the best fit for the Pirates? Browse more photos » Straight to the point today: one thing I find a bit strange about the idea of the Pirates pursuing Rick Ankiel and/or Hank Blalock is that both those guys are left-handed, whereas most of the Bucs' other options at first base and right field ( Garrett...

The Pirates are believed to have already made contact with Scott Boras about two of his clients, free agents Rick Ankiel and Hank Blalock, according to Dejan Kovacevic of The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. The team's preference "is for a short-term contract aimed at allowing the player a chance at full-time duty to revive their careers." With Andrew McCutchen in center and Lastings Milledge serving...

By Dejan Kovacevic | 12:40 a.m. Friday Hey, who turned on the lights? Hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving, as well as all the other time that lapsed so quickly since the final out in Cincinnati. From a week in Mexico to a drive to Niagara Falls to simply teaching the kids some street hockey in the driveway (yes, the back is all the way back), it has been an outstanding break. But, as with all...
