Freddy signs

The numbers on the Freddy Sanchez extension are out. Two years with a vesting third option based on plate appearances (which is not really unusual) and/or all-star appearances and up to $18.9 million. It's not a bank-breaker, but I think this is a lateral move at best for the Pirates and could end up being a bad one if Freddy declines quickly. But you know what I think ... what do you think? Freddy's the topic of the new sidebar poll.

Last week's results:

• Start Steve Pearce in Pittsburgh- 80% (128 votes)
• State Steve Peace in Indy- 19% (31 votes)
• The underpants gnomes- 1%
