Busy day in the Burgh

While the Steelers were busy cutting their player staff down to size the Pirates were busy adding to theirs.  Justin Morneau, formerly of the Minnesota Twins has swapped places with Alex Presley and is the newest rent a gun for the Pirates.  The Pirates need an offensive weapon at first base.  They have one of the best options available.  It seems like other than that guy named Byrd, who made a grand entrance at PNC park new players arrive cold and it takes em a while to warm up.  Possibly, Morneau will be different though.  He recently clobbered a few home runs with the Twins.  Maybe he can continue the hot streak.  The pessimist in me just has to point out though that he is coming from a long time in the AL.  He'll have to get used to the NL pitchers.  Hopefully a hitter will have no problem continuing to hit.  Sorry to see AP go, but the Pirates are long in the supply of outfielders that don't hit for power.  A change of scenery may be good for his career.  Good luck Mr. Presley.
