The Player to be named later.

[wrveres]

PITTSBURGH – Minor league left-hander Cory Stewart was acquired Thursday by the Pittsburgh Pirates from the San Diego Padres as the player to be named in the Brian Giles trade.

The 23-year-old Stewart was 12-7 with a 3.72 ERA in 24 starts for the Padres' Double-A Mobile farm club. He shared the Southern League lead in victories and tied for third with 133 strikeouts.

Stewart, a 27th-round draft pick by the Reds in 1998, was a combined 11-6 at the Padres' Fort Wayne and Lake Elsinore farm clubs in 2002.

The Pirates also acquired outfielder Jason Bay and left-hander Oliver Perez in the Aug. 26 trade for Giles, one of the majors' top run producers the last five seasons.

To make room for Stewart on their 40-man roster, the Pirates released left-hander Jeff D'Amico (9-16, 4.77 ERA), who led the NL in losses.

Damn that is enough already .................. we have more than paid dammit .... I'm almost ready to give Giles back!!!!!!



Of course I kid.

Such the kidder wrveres...

I was looking at stewart's stats, they seem to be pretty good. Do you think he'll hit the majors?

[Madison]

Relax Wrveres. Looks like he's a couple of years away. Plenty of time for you to get him back.

[eftda]

tyhey have given up ALOT for giles

[wrveres]

He may see some time next fall, but he is not considered a huge prospect ..... Pittsburgh has alot of pitching prospects in there system already though ... hmmmm

[mightyian5]

seems like nobody ever grows out of pittsburgh though. and you cant say giles, because he started right after we traded him to pittsburgh.

seriously though, now that think about it, who was the last big thing to come out of the pitt system?

And that one is worth more than all the prospects some organizations have developed in the last 16 years combined .
