The Pirates obtained Roberts and Marino Salas from the Brewers for Salomon Torres.  Like many minor league pitchers, Roberts improved significantly when he was moved to the bullpen in 2006.  He's been hard to hit and has had a high K rate, although with a high walk rate as well.  He throws a fastball that reaches as high as 94 and a decent curve.  He was working on a change when he was still a starter, but may not need it now.  He'll be at Altoona in 2008.
