The Pirates signed first baseman Lyle Overbay to a one-year deal,$5MM deal
the team announced. The statement from GM Neal Huntington:
"Lyle Overbay is solid major league player and we expect him to have
a positive impact on our club offensively, defensively, and in the
clubhouse."
The Pirates primarily used Garrett Jones at first base in 2010,
but they expressed a desire to add a right-handed hitting complement.
Overbay doesn't fit that description, though Jones could pair up with
Matt Diaz in right field if Ryan Doumit is traded.
Overbay, 34 in January, hit .243/.329/.433 in 607 plate appearances for
the Blue Jays this year. His performance picked up after a rough start.
Overbay is represented by Octagon.
