Pittsburgh? Really?

When it looked like the Giants would be stuck with all their aging, rotting, decomposing trash, an unlikely savior emerged - the Pittsburgh Pirates. They not only took Matt Morris and the entire remainder of his contract, but sent the Giants an MLB ready prospect (not a great one at this point, but who knows) and a prospect to be named later. Pittsburgh is the rare team worse than the Giants, so who knows why they'd want Morris. I wonder if Sabean thought he was getting a prank call. If not, he probably couldn't say yes fast enough. Oh, and thanks for Schmidt 5 years ago.

Now the hope is that a few of the aging underachievers catch fire, clear wavers, and draw some trade offers before the waiver trade deadline.
