Pirates grab Neil Walker.

Did you watch the video of him on MLB.com? Not a scout or anything but the kid looks good, plus he's built like an ox. Nice to see the Pirates take a local kid, I hope he pans out.

Yeah I did. I actually played against his older brother Matt. Matt was one heck of a hitter and from what I hear, Neil is 10x better. Unfortunately we won't get to see him for another 4-5 years or so, but he does look good.
He also WANTS to play in Pittsburgh so that should make negotiations easier.

I played with Neil before in little league...the kid is unbelievable...btw...what part of PA are u in?...Pine Richland Area? Im in NORTH ALLEGHENY

I actually went to NA myself - graduated in 95. Played baseball there also. Seems like a long time ago! Now I bought a house and moved up into the Cranberry area (Seven Fields to be exact).
I actually grew up in the Ingomar area if you're familiar with that... Wow, small world!
