Huntington Finds Starting Pitching for Pirates

We had a hunch Neal Huntington was shopping for pitching.  It was proven today.  Huntington went out and got a left handed starter that Jays Journal said was a bird killer.  The

Pirates announced the signing of Dana Eveland from Toronto in exchange for Ronald Uviedo.

Eveland is 26 years old and was 3-4 with a 6.45ERA with the Blue Jays.    Mat at Jays Journal said this about Eveland:

"If there was any chance that Alex Anthopolous could get Dana Eveland traded to the DBacks this season, possibly along with a reliever, for a substantial return, it was killed yesterday after a lousy outing by the big guy. He killed both his chances of remaining in the rotation much longer and his trade value with 1 game, although one could argue that his last few outings haven’t been impressive enough to get much in trade anyhow."

All of Eveland’s starts are detailed by Mat in this link.
