Pittsburgh, LA Swap Players



Joel Hanrahan is no longer a Pirate.

That is what was announced at a news conference by General Manager Neal Huntington on the first Pirates' off-day in two weeks. Joel Hanrahan, who had thrown 70 games with an ERA of 1.83 last season for the Pirates, is now a Los Angeles Angel. Hanrahan has pitched rather well so far this season, accumulating an ERA of 2.08 in 4.1 innings, along with three strikeouts. He saved 30 games, and had saved forty last season for the Buccos and was in the MLB lead for that statistic before the Pirates spectacular collapse during the last two months of the season.

In return for "The Hammer," the Pirates received 26-year old first baseman Mark Trumbo. Trumbo has not played at all this season, but he played 149 games for the Halos in 2011. Through those 149 games, Trumbo hit a slash-line of .254/.291/.477 while hitting a whopping 29 home runs. He also tallied 31 doubles and even hit for a triple. The concerning thing about Trumbo's offensive performance is his plate discipline: he struck out 120 times, or 22% of his at bats, last season, while only walking 25. Trumbo is expected to hit in the middle of the order for the Buccos, though he could platoon with first baseman Garrett Jones if he doesn't prove himself against righties.
