Possibly UJ was shopped to Pittsburgh this offseason?<br /><br />So I guess its possible UJ could become serviceable again. Its amazing how every player has some kind of spin why they werent successful, in this case no offseason workouts. Hey, if it helps the player compartmentalize a bad season so be it.<br /><br />Lets just hope its not another season of Daniel Cabrera...oh the pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
