In their continuing quest to unearth baseball talent in the strangest of places, the Pirates signed the 16-year-old Neverauskas out of Lithuania.  The signing means that, in less than a year, they've signed players from India, South Africa, Taiwan, Australia, the Netherlands and Lithuania, as well as a number of Latin American countries.  I can't find out much about Neverauskas except that he played in the European Championship Series and was clocked at 88 mph, which is good velocity for a pitcher that young, in a tryout camp conducted in Europe by MLB.  He's expected to participate in fall instructionals and then report to minor league spring training.  The Pirates have assigned their other European and Australian signees to the academy operated by MLB in Australian, so that may or may not mean they think more highly of Neverauskas.
