Meet Wilfredo Ledezma, a journeyman left-hander who the Pirates signed out of minor league free agency.

Unfortunately (or maybe [...]

The Pirates have signed former Tigers , Braves , Padres , Diamondbacks and Nationals pitcher Wilfredo Ledezma to a minor league deal. Ledezma can start, throws pretty hard (his fastball averages about 93 ), has a reasonable slider, is a lefty and will be just 29 in January, but he has never pitched very well in the majors and seems to encounter control problems there. He also has pronounced flyball...

Much like John Rheinecker, it seems Wilfredo Ledezma has been a victim of circumstance. When put into the right situations he can be a very productive pitcher, but he has not always been put in those situations. Ledezma is a 27 year old left hander with pretty good stuff. He's bounced around the league from Detroit to Atlanta to San Diego and finally to the Diamondbacks, who non-tendered him last week....

I actually have a good feeling about tonight's game. Bronson Arroyo has been looking much better lately (his last start ended badly, but he looked good for much of that game). Wilfredo Ledezma is a relief pitcher, but he’s starting tonight, and he hasn't had a ton of success as a starter in [...]
