It's been a fairly active winter for the Bucco suits, as they've shuffled the 40-man roster, completely retooled the bullpen, bulked up the middle infield, and added some new bodies to the major league club. Here's the moves they've made since the smoke cleared from the trainwreck of a 2009 season:
January 21, 2010: Designated RHP Anthony Claggett for assignment.
January 20, 2010: Agreed to terms with RHP Octavio Dotel for a one-year contract worth $3.25M with a team option for 2011 worth $4.5M and possible bonus money worth an undisclosed amount based on games finished.
January 19, 2010: Agreed to terms with LHP Zach Duke on a one-year contract worth $4.3M, buying out his second arbitration year.
January 19, 2010: Designated RHP Steve Jackson for assignment.
January 19, 2010: Claimed OF Brandon Jones off waivers from Atlanta.
January 18, 2010: Traded SS Brian Bixler to the Indians for minor-league utility man Jesus Brito.
January 16, 2010: Agreed to terms with RHP Brendan Donnelly on a one-year contract worth $1.35M which could reach nearly $3M with possible bonus money.
January 16, 2010: Agreed to terms with RHP D.J. Carrasco on a minor league contract. If he makes the team, the one-year deal is worth $950K with $250K in possible bonus money.
January 13, 2010: Agreed to terms with OF Ryan Church on a one-year contract worth $1.5M with $572K in possible bonus money.
January 12, 2010: Agreed to terms with RHP Brian Bass, C Luke Carlin and OF Brian Myrow on minor league contracts.
January 4, 2010: Agreed to terms with LHP Brian Burres, LHP Neal Cotts, RHP Tyler Yates and OF Jonathan Van Every on minor league contracts. Cotts and Yates are both coming off TJ surgery; if they pitch in the bigs in 2010 Cotts' deal is worth $900K and Yates' is worth $925K.
December 23, 2009: Agreed to terms with LHP Jack Taschner on a minor league contract. If he makes the club, his one-year deal will be worth $835K with $465K in possible bonus money.
December 18, 2009: Agreed to terms with LHP Javier Lopez on a one-year contract worth $775K with $550K in possible bonus money.
December 12, 2009: Agreed to terms with SS Ronny Cedeno on a one-year deal worth $1.125M. The contract bought out Cedeno's second arbitration year.
December 12, 2009: Declined to offer 2010 contracts to RHP Matt Capps and LHP Phil Dumatrait, making them free agents. Capps signed with the Nationals and Dumatrait signed with Detroit.
December 10, 2009: Agreed to terms with SS Bobby Crosby for a one-year contract worth $1M with $500K in possible bonus money.
December 10, 2009: Selected OF John Raynor in the Rule 5 draft.
December 7, 2009: Assigned RHP Jeff Sues to Indianapolis, removing him from the 40-man roster.
December 8, 2009: Agreed to terms with RHP Vinnie Chulk on a minor league contract.
December 6, 2009: Designated INF Luis Cruz for assignment. He signed with the Brewers.
November 30, 2009: Agreed to terms with LHP Wilfredo Ledezma on a minor league contract.
November 27, 2009: Designated C Robinzon Diaz for assignment. He signed with the Tigers.
November 21, 2009: Designated RHP Jeff Karstens for assignment; he's now on Indy's roster.
November 21, 2009: Claimed RHP Chris Jakubauskas off waivers from Seattle.
November 21, 2009: Purchased the contracts of RHP Brad Lincoln from Indianapolis; RHP Ramon Aguero and OF Gorkys Hernandez from Altoona; and RHP Bryan Morris from Bradenton and added them to the 40-man roster.
November 6, 2009: Assigned RHP Virgil Vasquez and RHP Eric Hacker outright to Indianapolis and C Steve Lerud outright to Altoona. Vasquez remained with the team, Hacker signed with the Giants and Lerud signed with the Royals.
November 6, 2009: The Brewers trade JJ Hardy. This is of interest because Dejan Kovacevic of the Post Gazette said the Pirates offered Matt Capps for him, and a Fox Sports report cited by the Bucs Dugout said that they also offered Ryan Doumit. Hey, they tried.
November 3, 2009: The Pirates trade RHP Jesse Chavez to the Tampa Bay Rays for 2B Akinori Iwamura. Iwamura is in the walk year of his contract, and will make $4.85M in 2010.
October 30, 2009: Claimed LHP Justin Thomas off waivers from Seattle.
October 21, 2009: Outrighted RHP Denny Bautista, RHP Chris Bootcheck and RHP Craig Hansen to the minor leagues, making them free agents. Bautista signed with the Giants, Bootcheck went to Japan, and Hansen is still a Bucco.
