07:46 AM ET 12.04 | Doug Mientkiewicz has told the Pirates they will have "the final say" on where he plays in 2009. The team's popular utilityman and clubhouse leader is a free agent and has drawn some early interest in what he hopes will result in a chance to return to a starting role. But, as he told general manager Neal Huntington in a conversation early last month, he will not sign a contract until he places a call to Pittsburgh.
