Andrew McCutchen

The Pirates promoted 20-year-old OF Andrew McCutchen from Low A Hickory to AA Altoona for the final two weeks of the AA season and play-offs.

He has done remarkably well considering the two-level jump and his age - 16-49 with 2 HR and 5 BB.

This off-season whilst all the hype gravitates to Cameron Maybin, Justin Upton and Jay Bruce, remember McCutchen.

He may not have the ceiling of those three, but he is closer to the majors and plays for the worst of the four organizations.

That is a twosome I always like to see when looking for cheap Roto players who can be flipped in bail deals.
