Pirates Trade for Pitcher

In case you missed it, the Pirates today traded Double-A reliever Ronald Uviedo to the Blue Jays for lefthander Dana Eveland, who will immediately become a part of the starting rotation. The 26 year old Eveland is 3-4 with a 6.45 ERA so far in 2010 (16-21; 5.66 career), which perfectly fits the profile for a Bucco starter in 2010. Fear not, though, for GM Neal tells us that Eveland does have great "upside."

Obviously, Brad Lincoln is still not ready for the majors. Maybe by 2013 or so.

Also, expect to hear big things for Uviedo in the near future.
