Stetson Allie, RHP Pittsburgh Pirates
3/13/1991
Height: 6’2” Weight: 220
Stetson Allie was drafted in the 2nd round and 52nd overall pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2010 amateur draft. Due to a high signing bonus demand (which ended up being $2.5 million for the Pirates), Allie fell a little farther in the draft than had been expected.

Gerrit Cole, RHP Pittsburgh Pirates
9/8/1990
Height: 6’4″ Weight: 220
Gerrit Cole was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates as the #1 overall pick in the 2011 draft and signed for a whopping $8mm at the deadline. Because he signed so late, it didn’t give the Pirates much reason to gear him back up and toss him into the mix in the FSL. So they waited and got him his first taste of pro ball in the Arizona Fall League. [click to continue…]
