From Frontier League to the Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates made a roster move Friday, dropping pitcher Jeff Karstens from the 40-man to add right-handed pitcher Chris Jakubauskas, pictured, who spent much of last season with the Seattle Mariners.You might recall that Jakubauskas spent three years in the Frontier League – two with Florence and one with Ohio Valley where his manager was Mark Mason.
Karstens was 4-6 with a 5.42 ERA with the Pirates last season. He was acquired from the Yankees in 2008. Jakubauskas was 6-7 with a 5.32 ERA in 35 games after unexpectedly making the majors at age 30.

He looks like a Pirates type player. Not good enough to command a high salary, and thus no worry about free agency at age 30.
Yeah, he was picked up on waivers. He sure isn't a great find.
Any, they won't have too far to send him back to the Frontier League.
Fortunately or unfortunately which ever you perfer, he can't come back to the Frontier League because he has aged out.
Perhaps he can go to the Atlantic with MM because they don't have an age restriction.
