Pirate rumors abound!!!

After the announcement of Thomas Baxter being named the backup catcher after last nights game, one in which he threw out 2 theft artists. Ok, so it took two tries to get one of them. But he said the second time he noticed the player "twitch" before the pitch and changed to a pitch out and nailed him at third. The pitching staff threw him a party, realizing he can call a great game as the Pirates stopped Omaha with 9 scattered hits in a 1 - 0 win. However with all the rejoicing and knowing that Pirate management called up almost every available player from the minors (something they have never done), some players are just a little somber. Hunter Tomlinson (team captain), who took a big pay cut to retire in Pittsburgh seemed a little on the worried side, said " I don't think they would have gave me the long term contract if they were gonna trade me, but some of my friends that I have made here are just a bit antsy." and added "Most of them should be a little more worried than others, including the pitching staff."
