Excellent signing at this point. Very good RP and a low salary. Plus he'll stabilize the bullpen.

Too bad he's not going to be available til May 1st to play in the bigs! Damn! Oh well, it sure is nice to have him back, however! :fro:

hes a goof. i dont think the bucs particularly need him since they have so much pitching now. and his stupid tirade he made when he left makes him a potential cancer imo and mike williams did that and hes back so there is two out spoken critics in the clubhouse.:freak:

Jesse, he was the best relief pitcher on the Pirates last year aside from Mike Williams. Why wouldn't you want him back?

They may have a surplus of pitching, but that doesn't mean it is good pitching. And if some of these guys step up, maybe Manzanillo won't be here. There is no guarantee he'll be called up.

I'd give Manzy a roster spot any day of the week.
