Lincoln has signed a minor league deal with the Pirates. Presumably, he'll be invited to spring training with an opportunity to compete for a bullpen spot. Lincoln worked mostly as a starter at Triple-A Lehigh Valley (Phillies) in 2014, compiling a 5.11 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 123.1 innings. His best stretch in the big leagues came out of the Bucs' bullpen in 2012, when he carried a 60:14 K:BB over 59.1 innings (2.73 ERA) before getting traded to Toronto.
