I notice the down year continued in the Arizona Fall League. Here's the complete report card, beginning with his ranking, friom Baseball America: 6. Andrew McCutchen, of, Phoenix (Pirates) McCutchen had one of the most fascinating years of any top prospect in the minors— he struggled to find consistency at Double-A Altoona during the regular season and then wowed scouts with his tools and athleticism in the AFL, even though the numbers remained just average. A 70 runner on the 20-80 scouting scale, McCutchen profiles as a leadoff hitter who gets on base and wreaks havoc. Facing righthanders caused McCutchen fits in 2007, and he hit just .182 against them in the Fall League. Still, the Pirates feel he will make the adjustment to soft breaking balls away. A plus defender with closing speed in the middle of the diamond, McCutchen is still the Pirates' center fielder of the future. He must have wailed on lefties, because in 98 AB overall he hit .286. |

Had a down year in 2007 after a solid 2006 between A and AA. Speed is his game, so you would like to see him improve his plate discipline and draw some more walks. He is very lanky and lean at 5-11, 170 lbs, but still has pretty good pop. The Pirates were trying to move McLouth in the off-season, and the Duffy experiment is over, so there is a good chance McCuthchen will be up in 2008 and be the starting CF in '09. The Pirates really like him, especially his defense. |

Baseball America's No. 2 prospect in the Eastern League. Had a very slow start at Altoona, but was cooking at the time he was promoted to the International League, where he continued to play well. "His speed and defense never slumped." The latter isn't a category, but it will be his ticket to the majors very soon. |
