Top 1st: Pirates vs. MCC (2/27/08)

Ah, spring training begins. Now's when we're supposed to compare the temps in Bradenton and Pittsburgh. We like that game, but it's too cold to play today. They say it's 59 degrees, but with the 20-mph wind it feels much colder.

The Pirates are debuting their Baseball America dream lineup today with a bunch of their top prospects making an appearance. Neil Walker made the first play of the spring at third base. He's the former first round draft pick who is a catching convert. Walker was the No. 61 overall prospect in baseball, according the top 100 list released by Baseball America on Wednesday. Steve Pearce made the second out with catch in right field. He's Baseball America's No. 89 prospect. Andrew McCutchen is in center field and the No. 14 overall prospect in baseball.

Bobby Haney doubled solidly to right field for MCC's first hit.
