The Pirates made a signing last night, but it’s not one to get very excited about. Gregory Soto, a 2X All Star lefty reliever, isn’t knocking the guys’ socks off. Poni, a split-fan between the Pirates and Mets, said Soto was a terrible pitcher in New York. The guys spent time knocking this signing before jumping down the throat of Ben Cherington for another bad off-season move to add to the resume. The big question is – why is a left-handed reliever the first move the Pirates made?
