The Pittsburgh Pirates signed Byung-Hyun Kim to a one-year deal earlier in the week.

The 29-year-old Kim will not close, but is expected to compete for a spot in the bullpen. Think this was a good pick-up for the Bucs?

I like the side armer...I mean, its Pittsburgh...and he is worth a look...it's not like they are competing for a pennant and he is a closer...for what it is, it's a good pickup.

That's pretty much my feeling on him too. But hey, at least he's not closing for us. That's a good thing, right?

Yeah. We could have traded for Matt Morris and his bloated contract. Oh, wait... nevermind.

Short for buccaneers, aka another name for Pirates. It's just easier to say than having to use Pirates all the time.
