| McEffect Report: Latimore is one of the better outfield prospects in the Pirates minor league system, but ranks lower on the list because of his age and lack of experience. He has been with the Pirates for 4 years, and has not earned a in-season promotion to any level yet, spending one year in the Gulf Coast League, one year with the State College Spikes, one year with the West Virginia Power, and most recently, one year with the Bradenton Marauders. In his minor league career he has hit .256/.312/.418, nothing too impressive, but he has hit for some good power. In 2010 he hit 19 home runs in 134 games and got his slugging percentage up to a career high .444. He even drove in 100 runs in 2010, which doesn't really mean much but is still a pretty impressive number. Latimore will play for the Altoona Curve this year and I wouldn't be surprised to see him spend the entire year with them. No need to rush him with the Pirates current outfield situation. He could turn into a legitimate power threat and play right field for the Bucs, but not any time before mid-2013. |
