Jay if i joined sabr could they tell me why the Pirates in 1909 aquired Kid Durbin from the Reds in exchange for Ward Miller and cash,and then used him in just one game as pinch runner a month later.Seems like a very odd trade,to give them a player and cash for a guy who was 1-5 on the season in 6 games and batted .250 in 14 games the previous season,and then they only use him once a month later.

If you can get a good answer for that question ill join today
