<p>The Pirates made a <a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100802&content_id=12936506&notebook_id=12936522&vkey=notebook_pit&fext=.jsp&c_id=pit">minor post-deadline deal today</a>, shipping outfielder Brandon Jones to the Tigers for a player to be named later. When the Pirates acquired Jones a few months back, it looked like he might get a look as a bench outfielder, but that didn’t happen in Spring Training, and a disappointing season in the minors didn’t help his cause, either.</p>

<p>Carassco, Chruch, Crosby, Dotel and Lopez go out the door, Diaz, Clement, McCutchen, McDonald and Snyder come in, so the 25-man roster is now filled out again. Have to figure either McCutchen or McDonald is heading to the bullpen, unless McCutchen is sent down for someone else.</p>

<p>Dejan Kovacevic<a href="http://twitter.com/Dejan_Kovacevic/status/20015129661" target="new"> tweets</a> the Pirates have also added outfielder John Bowker as part of the Javier Lopez trade with San Francisco.</p>
<p>In 41 games with San Francisco in 2010, Bowker is batting .207/.256/.354 with three homers and 8 RBIs.</p>
<p>In 51 games with <span class="caps">AAA</span> Fresno, Bowker is batting .310/.388/.594 with 14 homers and 36 RBIs.</p>

<p>Regarding that Rosenthal tweet below, it appears the Pirates got pitcher James McDonald and OF Andrew Lambo, both former top prospects whose stock has fallen a bit. I already wrote about them <a href="http://www.bucsdugout.com/2010/7/31/1598693/rosenthal-pirates-trade-octavio">over at Bucs Dugout</a>. Essentially, Lambo will probably start at Class AA Altoona, a level where he’s struggled to get traction. He’s only 21 and could well end up being helpful. McDonald could potentially be added to the big-league rotation right now.</p>
