Bye-bye Ty

The Pirates claimed RHP Victor Santos in today's Rule 5 from the Royals and released Wigginton so that Santos could fill the roster spot. I'm not sure if this is the same Victor Santos that pitched for the Brewers the last couple years or not, but it kind of looks like he is (he's listed on ESPN right now as a Royal). No Pirates were chosen, which means Adam Boeve is still ours.

Also Jose Mesa signed with the Rockies sometime yesterday after we declined arbitration. Words fail me. I can't imagine Mesa in Colorado. Of course, if we sign Roberto Hernandez I guess it doesn't much matter that we dumped Mesa, because we will have brought him right back.
