Comments on: Can Matt Curry Be The Next Brandon Belt? http://www.piratesprospects.com/2011/05/can-matt-curry-be-the-next-brandon-belt.html Sat, 25 May 2013 03:41:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Nate http://www.piratesprospects.com/2011/05/can-matt-curry-be-the-next-brandon-belt.html#comment-7182 Nate Fri, 03 Jun 2011 05:03:00 +0000 http://www.piratesprospects.com/?p=11386#comment-7182 Curry’s first HR tonight!  They should just keep Pedro down in extended spring training to lose some weight, get his swing straightened out (why is he trying to pull everything – with all that weight on him, things are getting a bit messed up), and keep him under the radar for a couple weeks.

While he wasn’t terrible at Lynchburg, he clearly didn’t excel and the FO’s justification for his promotion seemed to be rooted in, “pitchers are scared of him at this level” type stuff. Basically, they admitted his performance was undeserving but it was based more on talent/pedigree. I think that is comparable to just skipping high-A altogether.

If he does succeed at AA and then AAA, and moves to Pittsburgh?  What would that do for the planned move of Alvarez to 1B?
