JJ Designated for Assignment by Pirates

With the signing of Burnitz, the Pirates today designated JJ for assignment. What this means is that any team has 72 hours to claim him off waivers and place him on there 40 man roster. It probably will not be until Tuesday that he learns his faith. A team could claim him tomorrow or wait until Tuesday. If no team claims him then he goes back to the Pirates and gets assigned to AAA. Hope for the best.
