The Pirates signed Corey Hart to a one year contract for $2.5 M with performance bonuses. The big question is which Corey Hart do they get?
In 2012 Hart hit .270 with 30 HR and 83 RBI
Hart missed the entire 2013 season.
In 2014 Hart had 255 plate appearances and hit .203 with 6 HR and 21 RBI
From 2010 through 2012 Hart hit 31, 26, and 30 HR.
If the Pirates get anything close to those years they got a bargain.
To make room for Hart the Pirates DFAed Preston Guilmet, who they purchased from the Orioles October 3.
