Prospect news

Some highlights from Scott Rex's most worthy prospect blog:

[At AA,] RF Nate McLouth went 2-for-4 with a steal and a run scored for the Currrve. The underrated McLouth has 4 straight 2-hit games. He now ranks 4th in the EL in batting (.319).

[At short-season A]SS Brian Bixler was 2-for-4 with a steal and 2 runs scored in Williamsport's (PIT) 6-2 home loss to Hudson Valley (TB) on Sunday. Bixler, the Pirates' 2nd round pick this year, is hitting .294 with 21 runs scored in 26 games.
