Pirates acquire Wimberly from A’s
The Pirates acquired Corey Wimberly from the Oakland Athletics’ in exchange for right-handed pitcher Ryan Kelly. He will also receive a non-roster invite to Spring Training.
Wimberly, 27, can play five different positions: shortstop, third base, second base, left field and center field. He hit .284 with three home runs, 57 RBI in 135 games for the A’s Triple-A team. Wimberly stole 56 bases last season, 259 bags in 563 career games.
Kelly, 23, was drafted by the Pirates in the 26th round of the 2006 draft. He went 2-3 with a 4.20 ERA through 75 innings during the 2010 season with Class A-West Virginia.

Nice utility pick-up who could get a chance to be there on Opening Day with a great Spring Training.
The little moves the Pirates have done under the radar should produce some special wins in 2011.
I also viewed the finale last night……I think I saw you in the wedding scene, but I will go back and freeze frame it and zoom in to see if you were eating “Pirates Booty” popcorm during the scene (lol).
Merry Christmas and have a glorious New Years.

Yeah, Wimberly has a lot of speed. He could fit in well with the Bucs other speedy guys (McCutche & Tabata). I’m looking forward to watching him in spring training.
Haha. Nice. Unfortunately, no Pirates Booty. When David gets punched in the wedding scene, he falls onto my lap. haha. Got my 5 seconds of fame.
