As a Pirates fan, this seems like a decent move to me. First base is definitely a weakness.
Anything you can tell me about Thornton?
The PTBNL is "fairly significant,"XtweetsJon Heyman of CBSSports.com. It is worth bearing in mind, as Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com points outXon Twitter, that 2013 draft picks still cannot technically be included in a deal.
I wonder who the significant ptbnl is.....hmmm Hansen we need a SS

This is interesting if true...from Mets Blog:
8:04 pm:XI’m not judging this deal until it’s complete. The buzz from Citi Field is that the player coming from the Pirates is likely a player they drafted with a top pick last June. So, they’ll need to wait a full year after the draft (June, 2014) to send him to the Mets. I’m holding out hope it’s OFXAustin Meadows, who everyone says has a great, balanced, advanced approach at the plate for a 19-year-old."

I see no way in hell Meadows is involved in this deal. We are talking about Ike Davis with a career .767 OPS, which is worse than Lucas Duda who Ike is playing behind right now.
