And just one more thing: Pirates

Lisa Winston checks in with the Pirates preview. Here's the bonus coverage:

Pedro Powell, OF: Truth be told, the Pirates have one of the shallower systems so pretty much all of their best prospects made the list. But I have to write a little here about one of my favorite underdogs, outfielder Pedro Powell. The 18th-rounder from 2003 out of high school in Georgia is officially listed at 5-foot-7 and that’s probably a few inches generous. On tiptoes. And a phonebook. But ****, the guy can fly. This is goingPpowell to be a make or break year for the center fielder (and protégé of likely starting Pittsburgh center fielder Nyjer Morgan), as he has to show the Pirates that he can reach base enough to make those steals happen on a regular basis. He holds a somewhat dubious record of leading the Carolina League in steals two years in a row, with 63 in 2006 and 67 in 2007, but his average dipped from .263 the first time around to .241 last summer due to a mid-season slump. His on-base average was just .325 so he needs to bump that up. He is so much fun to watch that I am really hoping he does it.
