I do not care where DFA or give him the Elmer Dessens position of human victory cigar/surrender flag where he is never allowed in a game that closer than 8 run either way. The number of games he has cost us is starting to add up the blown game in Denver, the game in Arizona now crushing the rally tonight(tonight was not totally his fault you have to get more than 1 run off of Glendon Fucking Rusch)...

Turner Ward anticipated the trajectory of the baseball, given that Pirates right-hander Elmer Dessens had delivered a pitch low and away to right-handed batter Mike Piazza and braced for the impact of the impending collision as he raced toward the padded right-field fence.

Luis Rivas has made the team: The Pirates this morning cut four players from spring training -- outfielder Kevin Thompson and relievers Jonah Bayliss, Elmer Dessens and Casey Fossum -- and added infielder Luis Rivas to the 40-man roster, effectively putting him on the team for opening day. He will be the starting second baseman if Freddy Sanchez, still unable to throw at 100 percent because of offseason...

-P- As piratefn7 has already noted in the diaries, the Pirates have signed pitcher Elmer Dessens to a minor-league deal. He'll have a very good chance of making the team out of Spring Training despite a horrible performance last year. Dessens will be 36 before the season starts and hasn't had a really good season in several years, but as someone who can start in a pinch, he's a potentially useful...

Well, at least the Rockies didn't go in the wrong direction by bring Elmer Dessens back after his August-September stint with the team. That honor goes to the Pittsburgh Pirates , who signed Dessens to a minor-league deal yesterday. According to the article, it's a good bet that Dessens will make the team as a reliever, even if more pitchers are brought in. How long has Pittsburgh been rebuilding?...

The Pirates have signed right-handed reliever Elmer Dessens to a one-year minor league contract. Dessens, who will turn 37 on January 13, began his career with the Pirates and pitched for the team in 1996-1998. Dessens is unlikely to adequately fill the team's need for a late-inning, right-handed reliever. He struggled through [...]

Elmer Dessens only lasted 2 1/3 innings, but there's good news and bad news with the situation. The good news is he didn't give up a hit. The bad news is he strained a hamstring. Dessens hasn't pitched well at...
