Talk about bang for your buck. The Pirates signed Starling Marte - who was originally scouted as a pitcher - out of the Dominican Republic for a scant $85,000 bonus. The investment turned out to be a great one. Marte, who stands 6'2, 185 lbs according to
fangraphs, oozes tools, highlighted by blazing speed and a strong arm. Combining those tools with good jumps and reads, Marte is an elite defensive centerfielder. On the other side of the game, Marte's bat has developed nicely, making him a very good overall prospect.
