Pirate Prospect Prospectus

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

Sean Manaea, LHP, Athletics (AFL, Mesa Solar Sox): 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R/ER, BB, 9 K

Last week Manaea drew attention for an electric performance in the AFL Fall Stars game, and while that was a dynamic performance, his turn in the rotation on Friday epitomizes just how good he could be at his peak. Manaea has always had electric stuff from the left side, including a plus fastball that can reach higher at times, and his ability to miss bats could land him in Oakland’s rotation in the very near future.

Nice. Got anything on Cheslor Cuthbert?

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

I have it on good authority that Cheslor Cuthbert could be yours for the low low price of a 5th round draft pick. Then you can do your own research.

I smell a cut. I will just draft him then.

Can we get a Pittsburgh prospectus on Nick Williams, OF, Phi?

Has any team here had a clean sweep on rookie of the years before this year?

Ian Happ is an exciting prospect. Nice hr sb roto potential there.

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

Milw - That's the spirit. I want to see more of this from the rest of you.

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

Oh, and a bonus is that Ian Happ is from my neighborhood.

Kolten Wong can move to your neighborhood too. Just let me know

[Minnesota Twins]

Here you go Philly! His defense was improved and he looked like he was in better shape...

"Cheslor Cuthbert, 3B: Age 23, hit .277/.339/.421 with 11 homers, 37 walks, 60 strikeouts in 397 at-bats in Triple-A, .217/.280/.370 in 46 at-bats in majors. Defense was improved this year and he looked in better shape, however hitting remains mediocre considering context."
