Chris Resop has been moved to the long relief role. |
Resop has given up nine earned runs in his past seven appearances, leading to the demotion. "We really don't have a long guy," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "For a couple innings, he's definitely capable of throwing two innings." Daniel McCutchen, who boasts a 0.53 ERA and 0.94 WHIP, will now move into a short relief role after serving as the long man. |

Thu Feb 3 2011 | 01:24 | Chris Resop will remain in bullpen |
Despite starting all 17 of his minor league games last season, Chris Resop will be in the bullpen in 2011. |
Pirates president Frank Coonelly said, "we think that other players will grab the fifth spot in the rotation, and Chris gives us the best chance to win by pitching out of the bullpen." Resop was a dominant starter at Triple-A Gwinnett in 2010 before shifting to the bullpen after his August call-up to the majors. The versatile right-hander excelled in this role, too, posting a 1.89 ERA in 19 innings. He might not win many games for a team whose last winning record was in 1992, but he is expected to be a valuable middle reliever on the rebuilding Pirates. |

There's a chance that the Braves will call up Resop and have him replace Jesse Chavez in the pen, but they could have gone that route a month ago if they wanted to. It seems as though they'd rather trade the 27-year-old, who has had an outstanding year in Gwinnett's rotation. He's 5-2 with a 1.84 ERA after pitching a one-hitter on Thursday. |
