Bruce Aven was placed on the 15-day DL with a strained left hamstring. The speedy Redman is a very athletic player who can burn up the basepaths and cover extensive ground in the outfield. He isn't that strong with the bat, as the LH hitter doesn't drive the ball that well, nor get on base often enough to make his speed useful. The 23 year-old had made an improvement in his strike zone judgment in 1999, but didn't take to the higher level well. He'll serve as a defensive replacement in the Pirate outfield and projects to a fourth or fifth outfielder for the future.
Second grade represents long-term potential.
MLB full-timer with high ceiling. MLB bench player with low ceiling. Will likely shuttle back and forth from minors. Only gets called up if there's nobody else.
