- Gonzalez passed his physical.
- Deal should be official today pending blood tests done by the Pirates.
- Adam LaRoche is happier than his family.
- Pirates players are happy.
- Bay is not exactly broken up over LaRoche batting cleanup.
- Lineup: Duffy, Wilson, Sanchez, LaRoche, Bay, Nady/Paulino, Paulino/Nady, Bautista/Castillo.
- Sanchez at 2nd with Castillo and Bautista battle for 3B?
- DL had a plan on getting Lefty McThump before negotiating with FA's.
- Still looking for a bat, Trot Nixon named.
- Ohka and Lawrence are targeted pitchers.
Wow, DK gives us a lot to digest today.
- Castillo to 3B is long overdue.
- Trot, please no. He would platoon with Nady in RF keeping Doumit out of the lineup.
- I am better with Trot as a bench player only.
- Lawrence is just using the Pirates to improve his position with the 3 west coast teams.
- Wow, DL had a plan that actually worked!

Dave,
From DL's praise of Nady during his live chat at pirates.com early in the offseason, I'd say that Trot would be just that: a bench player. Doumit would be horrible defensively at RF. McLouth is still a question mark--despite his upside, his BA was abysmal last year. We have one bench spot to fill with a serviceable bat--I'd say Nixon would be a decent fit. Doumit can get AB's at first against lefties, Nixon can get spot starts in RF against righties.
