The Pittsburgh Pirates DFA Anthony Claggett
The Pirates have designated 25-year ild righty starter/reliever Anthony Claggett for assignment to make room on the roster for Octavio Dotel. Claggett pitched in 3 games (0 starts) for the Yankees and Pirates last season and he was 0-0 with a 27.00 ERA and a 4.64 WHIP. He also pitched in 39 games (5 starts) in AAA-ball last year and he was 7-7 with 4 saves, a 3.07 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. The Pirates won’t miss Claggett too much as he looked overwhelmed against major league hitters last year.
