Pirates sign Blaine Boyer and Brett Sinkbeil to Minor League deals

By juan

The Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to Minor League deals with right handed pitchers Blaine Boyer and Brett Sinkbeil according to Matt Eddy of Baseball America.

Sinkbeil was released by the Marlins late in March. He was the Marlins’ first round pick (19th overall) in the 2006 draft. He made his Major League debut in 2010 with the Marlins when he pitched 2.0 innings and put up a 13.50 ERA with 5 walks and 1 SO.

Boyer elected free agency after clearing waivers with the Mets earlier this month. The first week of the season with the team Boyer was 0-2 with a 10.80 ERA.
