Shortstop Brandon Chaves will return to Telemarket Rimini. The Italian Baseball League confirmed that he is coming back for the 2012 season. Playing his first year in Italy he batted .351/.464 with two homeruns, three triples, nine doubles, 43 runs and 20 RBI in 39 games. The 32-year-old is the lone foreign player to return to the Pirates, as Josh Phelps, Dushan Ruzic and Bryant Nelson have left the ship.
