Pipeline report: Prospects in Pirates' camp

With Andrew McCutchen handling right field, and winning a championship with Team USA, and Starling Marte and Gregory Polanco both in the Dominican Republic's outfield, that left a lot of green to be covered in Grapefruit League action. Austin Meadows, the No. 2 prospect in the organization, has been the biggest prospect name to take advantage, hitting .326/.420/.558 with a pair of homers and nine RBIs in 43 at-bats, showing that while he'll start the year in Triple-A, there might not be that much more he needs to do before he's ready to contribute.
