The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed Xavier Nady and John Grabow to one year contracts.  Nady will receive $3.3 million in 2008 while Grabow will earn $1.1 million.

Nady is very well worth the month, but is Grabow?  Time will tell I suppose.  But as a Pirates fan, you would hope they would just shell out five million a year and sign Nady long term.  Even a three or four year deal would do.

Adam LaRoche just got a hefty pay raise from the Pittsburgh Pirates.  LaRoche who earned a little over $3 million last year, just agreed on a new one year contract with the Pirates for $5 million.  Yes you read that right, $5 million!

I think that is about 2 million more then he is worth to be honest.  LaRoche definaly hasn’t lived up to all the hype when he came over to the Pirates.

Do you all agree with me?  Bad move my the management signing LaRoche for $5 million?
