The Pittsburgh Pirates announced on Monday they have signed twelve players to minor league contracts with invitations to Spring Training. While there are some familiar names, there are also some guys who will be joining the organization from other teams. Here’s a quick rundown on the twelve invitees:
- Steven Brault – The Pirates’ #24 prospect entering 2015, Brault really broke out in Double A last season. He reached a career high with 8.0 strikeouts per nine innings and started to develop better control of his pitches. I don’t know if he’s ready for the majors yet, but he doesn’t give up home runs or walks and as a lefty, he’ll get a shot.
