Sat, 28 Apr 2012 10:47:48 -0700 Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle decided to shake up his batting order prior to the game against the Atlanta Braves Friday, April 27, by dropping 1B Casey McGehee to the No. 7 spot in the lineup. OF Garrett Jones was moved up to the cleanup spot, followed by 2B Neil Walker and 3B Pedro Alvarez. This gave the Pirates three consecutive left-handed batters in front of McGehee as they faced right-handed SP Tommy Hanson. Jones, Walker and Alvarez combined to go 2-for-9 with three walks in the game, while McGehee went 1-for-3.
Fri, 13 Apr 2012 16:58:49 -0700 Pittsburgh Pirates OF Garrett Jones and 3B Pedro Alvarez combined to go 0-for-6 with six strikeouts Friday, April 13.
Sun, 08 Apr 2012 10:24:51 -0700 Pittsburgh Pirates 3B Pedro Alvarez will return to the starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies Sunday, April 8. 1B Garrett Jones and C Mike McKenry are also in the lineup.
Thu, 15 Mar 2012 13:48:09 -0700 Pittsburgh Pirates OF Garrett Jones went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and four RBIs in the Grapefruit League game Thursday, March 15, and he's hitting .400 this spring. OF Alex Presley and 3B Matt Hague each went 3-for-4 with a home run.
Mon, 05 Mar 2012 09:51:22 -0800 Pittsburgh Pirates OF Garrett Jones didn't spend as much time hitting in the cages during the offseason so that he didn't overwork himself. He is expected to form a platoon at first base with 1B Casey McGehee this year. "I just got to work on staying through the ball a little better (against lefties)," Jones said. "Staying through the middle parts of the field off left-handers and seeing the ball a little deeper."
Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:44:05 -0800 The Pittsburgh Pirates expect 3B Casey McGehee to platoon at first base this year with OF Garrett Jones. McGehee has started just one game in his career at first. "He's got limited experience at first, but we had him out there moving around and I don't think it's going (badly)," manager Clint Hurdle said. "We'll see where the competition takes us." If McGehee proves himself, he could become the full-time starter at the position. He worked with a nutritionist in the offseason, and he's reported to camp 25 pounds lighter than last year as a result.
Thu, 16 Feb 2012 07:14:24 -0800 The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated OF/1B Garrett Jones in arbitration, and he will make $2.25 million this season.
Wed, 15 Feb 2012 13:55:01 -0800 Pittsburgh Pirates OF Garrett Jones and the team argued their sides in an arbitration case Wednesday, Feb. 15, with Jones requesting $2.5 million and the team countering with $2.25 million. A decision is expected Thursday, Feb. 16.
Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:53:58 -0800 The Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees continue to talk trade with the subject being SP A.J. Burnett, and the Pirates are "optimistic" that they will eventually work out a deal, with only "the money and players exchanged" to be determined. Pittsburgh will not be sending OF Garrett Jones in a trade. All of the teams on Burnett's no-trade clause are on the West coast.
Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:55:03 -0800 The New York Yankees understand that they will have to take on most of SP A.J. Burnett's remaining $33 million salary in order to trade him before the 2012 season. The Pittsburgh Pirates are the most likely trading partner, but they are reluctant to give up OF Garrett Jones, whom the Yanks covet. New York wants a decent prospect if they pick up a hefty junk of Burnett's contract.
