More signings

The Pirates have apparently signed two more left handed pitchers on minor league deals. And I think it creates a nice competition for the second left hander spot in the bullpen.

One is Cory Luebke, and I don't think much will come of this one. It is a flyer on a guy who once looked to be top of the rotation stuff in San Diego. He was extremely successful with a high K rate and low BB rate in 2011. He began in the pen, but had 17 pretty good starts. He started 2012 well enough, but had Tommy John surgery missing the rest of that season and the next.
