Unknøwn Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 The Mariners have acquired both pitcher Ian Snell and shortstop Jack Wilson from the Pirates in a seven-player deal, major-league sources confirmed to CBSSports.com.Going to the Pirates in the deal are catcher Jeff Clement, shortstop Ronny Cedeno, and three Class A pitchers -- Aaron Pribanic, Brett Lorin and Nathan Adcock.

mookie3127 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 i thought Clement was one of Seattle's building blocks of the future.....if so, i'm surprised that they sent him packing. haven't followed him much this year though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Clement has played well in the minors but so far hasnt done anything at the ML level in 243 ABs he hit just .237 with a .309 OBP and .701 OPS from what i've heard the Pirates want to convert him to 1B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.C. Collins Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 The Pirates must have an amazing amount of young players right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 And they probably arent done dealing yet they still have John Grabow, Freddy Sanchez and Zach Duke they've talked about trading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie3127 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 The Pirates must have an amazing amount of young players right now.with the potential of the players that they've acquired the past couple of years, i can see them being the next group of Rays in 3 years. LaRoche, Hernandez, Clement, Doumit & McCutchen (don't think they were acquired, but still a good looking players).....they've got some young talent that could be tough offensively. that Garret Jones kid has been tearing it up for them as well.

Goodoleboy58 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Clement's problem is that he's not a catcher... he cant throw out Boog trying to steal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
