Pirates Select C Travis Scott

Pirates added organizational depth, at catcher, today, with another Rule 5 Draft selection, by picking C Travis Scott, from the Seattle Mariners organization. Scott, a 20th round pick in the 2005 MLB Amateur Draft, has spent, the better part, of 5 season in single A, and appeared in the final week of AA, in the 2010 season. 

Career MiLB Offensive Stats: .270 BA/.343 OBP/.464 SLG/.807 OPS

With the inevitable promotion of Tony Sanchez, the most probable place Scott will end up is with the Bradenton Marauders. His offensive stats are A-typical of catchers, but has been in single A for nearly 5 years. He may seem to be another Eric Kratz, and be a career minor leaguer.
