News broke Friday of the two of the brightest prospects in the Pittsburgh Pirates system would be getting promoted, as Charles McAdoo and Jaden Woods made the jump from Greensboro to Altoona for Double-A ball.
Both players were experiencing great success at the High-A level this season with the grasshoppers after both being drafted last year. McAdoo was on a tear at the plate with Greensboro, after impressing in Bradenton last Summer following the draft. With a .336/.415/.561 line, he was regarded as one of the best hitters in Pittsburgh’s system and thus the promotion followed.
