Pirates Trade Eric Hinske to Yankees, Could Trade Nyjer Morgan

... affiliate, then got shipped to New York for Chase Wright. He's been terrible so far this year and, at 23, needs to get moving to be a real prospect. This is only his second full year in pro ball, so I suppose it's possible he'll do that. Milwaukee scouts were supposedly ...
Manny Parra Should Return
