Meek to AA Altoona
By Bill • May 16th, 2008 • Category: News & Opinion
The Pirates reacquried reliever Evan Meek, the Rule 5 pick they made from Tampa Bay, by giving an undisclosed cash payment to the Rays.
Meek has been assigned to Class AA Altoona.
Meek can bring the heat, touching 97 MPH at times. He’ll work on his control and hopefully be a fixture in the Bucco’s bullpen in the future.
Because he cleared waivers, he was not required to be placed back on the 40 man roster, which is currently full.
