The Pirates released seven players (sub. req’d) from minor league camp today. The cuts were:
OF Barrett Barnes
LHP Cody Dickson
OF Michael Suchy
RHP John Stilson
OF Ty Moore
RHP Yunior Montero
C Jose Barraza
The most noteworthy player here is Barnes, whom the Pirates drafted in the supplemental first round in 2012. Because they didn’t sign Mark Appel, Barnes was their top signed pick that year. He showed some ability, including power, in the brief interludes in which he was able to play. He was limited by injuries, though, to just 355 games in six seasons.
