News Roundup: Pirates Scout Yankees/Mariners Game
Bucs Dugout —
... POSADA'S THUMB IS FEELIN' FOUL - New York Post The Pirates had two representatives at the Yankees/Mariners game on Thursday, Jim Benedict and Larry Corrigan.

Going after Grabow?
The Yankee Universe —
From George King III (NY Post):
Pittsburgh had two scouts at last night’s game, Jim Benedict, a former Yankees scout, and Larry Corrigan. Their presence fueled speculation the Yankees have an interest in 30-year-old lefty reliever John Grabow.
With Damaso Marte’s return from shoulder problems looking less likely by the day, the Yankees could use a second lefty to complement Phil Coke, who has done very well.
Interestingly, King notes that the scouts “fueled speculation that the Yankees have an interest” ...
