Newsbreakers
October 4, 2009
Andrew McCutchen closed out his rookie season with a 2-for-3 showing against the Reds on Sunday. McCutchen finished the year with a .286 average.
Our View:
McCutchen is one of the more exciting rookies in the NL, and he has a bright future in Pittsburgh. He can run and can hit for some power, and he should be a very nice fantasy player next season.
September 27, 2009
Andrew McCutchen went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base in the Pirates dramatic 6-5, walk-off win over the Dodgers on Sunday.
Our View:
The Pirate rookie has slowed in the season's final month, hitting just .258 with one homer and ten RBI, but still has solid enough numbers overall to enter into the ROY conversation.
September 23, 2009
Andrew McCutchen got two of only five Pirate hits on Wednesday, as the Bucs got blown out 12-2 by the Reds at home.
Our View:
McCutchen is hitting just .250 in September, but with a .281 average, 12 home runs, 52 RBI and 16 steals this season, he is a legitimate contender for the National League's rookie of the year award.
September 22, 2009
Andrew McCutchen was the offensive star for the Pirates on Tuesday. He went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI in a 10-4 loss to the Reds.
Our View:
McCutchen has had a nice rookie campaign for the Buccos. He's cracked 12 homers, 23 doubles and seven triples while compiling a .350 OBP and driving in 52 in just 96 games. He'll get some ROY looks.
September 16, 2009
Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-4 on Wednesday, good for just his second multi-hit effort in his past 18 games, but it wasn't enough, as Pittsburgh lost 3-1 in Los Angeles.
Our View:
McCutchen has reached that inevitable point of every rookie's season where the pitchers have finally figured out how to pitch them. With there being just 18 games left in the Pirates season, there is little reason to hold on to him and see if he can re-adjust. His value has shifted to 2010.
September 6, 2009
As usual, Andrew McCutchen was in the center of it all on Sunday, going 2-for-5 while scoring the game-winning run in the ninth inning of the Pirates' 6-5 win over St. Louis.
Our View:
With a .282 average, 11 home runs, 45 RBI and 16 steals since being called up in early June, McCutchen should garner strong rookie of the year consideration later this fall.
August 31, 2009
Andrew McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a solo homer off Johnny Cueto in tonight's 6-3 loss at Cincinnati. This was the second game of a doubleheader.
Our View:
The rookie hit his 11th homer of the season, with eight coming in August. He also batted .304 this month.
August 28, 2009
Andrew McCutchen went 3-for-5 with a career-high four RBI on Friday night, but still couldn't propel the Pirates past the Brewers, as the Bucs lost 8-6 on the road.
Our View:
McCutchen now has a .295 average, 10 home runs, 43 RBI and 15 steals since being called up in early June, and will be a tantalizing option to gamble on high in next year's drafts.
August 25, 2009
Andrew McCutchen was the hero for the Pirates on Tuesday as he launched a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth to lead his team to a 6-4 win over the Phillies. McCutchen was 2-for-4 on the night with a run scored and two RBI.
Our View:
McCutchen has been a star since he was called up earlier this season, and now he has a walk-off home run to put on his resume. He makes things happen nearly every night, and he should get at least some consideration for the Rookie of the Year award.
August 11, 2009
Andrew McCutchen reached base four times in six plate appearances on Tuesday night, in addition to stealing three bases, as the Pirates cooled off the Rockies 7-3 at home.
Our View:
Put simply, McCutchen has been the NL's most electrifying rookie in 2009, and it will be a darn shame if he does not receive heavy consideration for the rookie of the year award.
August 6, 2009
Andrew McCutchen has been cleared to play Thursday after sitting out Wednesday with headaches and dizziness, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Our View:
He was hurt in a collision on Tuesday. McCutchen has quickly developed into a very dynamic offensive player since being called up in early June, and one would hope he doesn't have lingering effects from the injury for the rest of the season.
August 3, 2009
Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a single and a solo homer off Garrett Mock in tonight's 8-4 loss to Washington at PNC Park.
Our View:
McCutchen has a hit in four straight games, with four homers over the span. Keep the rookie active in fantasy lineups while swinging a hot stick.
August 1, 2009
Andrew McCutchen went 4-for-5 with six RBI and four runs scored in tonight's 11-6 win over Washington at PNC Park. He hit a single and three home runs.
Our View:
McCutchen started August off with a bang, as he only hit two homers in the entire month of July. Keep the Pirates' rookie phenom active in fantasy lineups.
July 11, 2009
Andrew McCutchen was productive in tonight's 8-7 loss at Philadelphia, as he went 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored. He hit a double and a two-run homer off Cole Hamels, and also swiped a base.
Our View:
The rookie was in need of a solid performance, as he was hitless over his last two games (eight at-bats). He snapped a 21-game drought without a homer tonight as well.
July 5, 2009
The Pirates didn't get much in the way of offense on Sunday, but rookie Andrew McCutchen managed to go 2-for-4 in his team's 5-0 loss. McCutchen is now hitting an even .300 on the year.
Our View:
McCutchen has been solid since being called up, and he is turning into a good MLB player. He should be owned in all leagues, as he provides a skill set that can translate into solid fantasy numbers.
July 3, 2009
Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-5, drove in a run, scored two runs and swiped his fifth base in the Pirates' 7-4 win over the Marlins on Friday.
Our View:
The rookie speedster has been very good since being called up in June. He started slumping at the end of the month, but looks to have figured it out with five hits already in July.
July 1, 2009
Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-4 for his first multi-hit night in six games on Wednesday, but the Pirates were handled 4-1 by the Cubs.
Our View:
McCutchen has finally cooled off after his monster start. He's likely to get hot again at some point, but you might want to bench him for a little while.
June 25, 2009
Andrew McCutchen picked up two more hits on Thursday, and drove in two as the Pirates beat Cliff Lee and Cleveland 3-2.
Our View:
McCutchen has now hit in 13 straight games, and there is no reason to take him out of your starting lineup until he shows signs of cooling off.
June 23, 2009
Andrew McCutchen only went 1-for-5 in the Pirates 5-4 loss to the Indians on Tuesday, but extended his hitting streak to 11 games and swiped his third base of the season.
Our View:
McCutchen has shown remarkable consistency, if little power, since being called up to the big leagues and is definitely worth an add if you are not set at outfield.
June 19, 2009
Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's 7-3 loss at Colorado. He hit a double and a triple.
Our View:
The rookie extended his hitting streak to eight games, with 12 total hits over the span. He is hitting .338 for the season, and should remain employed in fantasy lineups.
June 17, 2009
Andrew McCutchen was 2-for-5 with two RBI, a run scored and a home run in an 8-2 win over Minnesota on Wednesday.
Our View:
A couple years ago, people talked about McCutchen having 30-30 potential. He clearly has the speed, but tonight marked just his first home run of the season. The power is not there, at least not this season, but he makes up for it with a .339 average.
June 8, 2009
Andrew McCutchen was productive in Monday's 7-6 loss at Atlanta, as he went 4-for-7 with an RBI. He hit a single, double and two triples. The game lasted 15 innings.
Our View:
The Pirates' prized prospect has eight hits and four RBI over his last three games, and is worth targeting if still dangling on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.
June 7, 2009
Pirate rookie Andrew McCutchen went 3-for-5 with an RBI in a 6-4 loss to the Astros on Sunday.
Our View:
McCutchen has yet to collect an extra-base hit this season, but he is a talented young player and his pop should come with time. Sunday's effort marked the first three-hit game of his career and he's now hitting .333 on the season.
June 6, 2009
Rookie Andrew McCutchen drove in two runs on Saturday in helping the Pirates to a 6-4 win over the Astros. McCutchen was 1-for-5 on the night with a two-RBI single in the second inning.
Our View:
McCutchen may have only gotten one hit tonight, but he maximized his impact on the game in that one at-bat. He has been excellent since being called up, and fantasy owners in all leagues would be wise to give him a look at this point. His speed should be very valuable to fantasy owners, and he has the ability to steal bases and score runs on a regular basis.
June 4, 2009
Pirates rookie center fielder Andrew McCutchen was a rousing success in his first major league game. The 22-year-old got a hit in his first at-bat and finished the day 2-for-4 with three runs scored, an RBI, a steal and a walk.
Our View:
The future may be now for the Pirates heralded prospect. He is worth an add if you have any sort of a need for an outfielder. Of course, many rookies start hot before protracted slumps, so a very close eye should be kept on him.
June 4, 2009
Updating a previous report, Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen singled off the Mets Mike Pelfrey in his first career major league at-bat on Thursday.
Our View:
If you are in need of an outfielder, he is definitely worth a look.
June 4, 2009
After being called up to the Pirates on Wednesday, phenom Andrew McCutchen will make his major league debut on Thursday, batting leadoff and starting in center field according to Pirates.com.
Our View:
McCutchen batted .303 at Triple-A Indianapolis this season, and led the International League in runs and triples. If you are in need of an outfielder, he is definitely be worth a flier.
June 3, 2009
Centerfielder Andrew McCutchen has been called up by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the wake of their deal to send Nate McLouth to the Braves, according to MLB.com. He will likely make his major league debut on Thursday.
Our View:
McCutchen's defense is arguably better than that of McLouth's, who won a Gold Glove in the NL last season. He has very good speed and some nice pop in his bat. He was hitting .303 with four home runs, eight triples, 10 stolen bases, 41 runs scored, and 20 RBI through 49 Triple-A games this season. He is a strong play in NL-only leagues and should make an impact in mixed leagues as well.
May 15, 2009
Andrew McCutchen went 4-for-5 for Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, increasing his batting average to .297.
Our View:
Pittsburgh's top outfield prospect continues to do a nice job as a leadoff man for Indy, hitting .297 with a 13/10 BB/K ratio and seven steals in eight attempts. With Brandon Moss doing a lot of nothing at the major league level, McCutchen could find himself with a starting job in the majors by the All-Star break.
March 30, 2009
Andrew McCutchen has been reassigned to minor league camp by the Pirates, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Our View:
McCutchen is an elite prospect, but holds no fantasy value for now while working in the minors. He is still only 22 years old.
March 28, 2009
It's likely that Andrew McCutchen will start the season in Triple-A, but he did his best to stay in the bigs by going 5-for-5 with three doubles and one home run, scoring three times and driving in two in Pittsburgh's 10-4 win over the Phillies.
Our View:
The big day for McCutchen has risen his spring average to .308. Even if he does get sent down, it seems highly likely he'll join the talent-thin Pirates some time during the summer.
March 25, 2009
Andrew McCutchen is likely headed to Triple-A for seasoning, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
McCutchen is a top prospect, and could join the club at some point during the season. Craig Monroe is a leading candidate to win a reserve role in the Pirates' outfield.
March 18, 2009
Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-5 with an RBI single in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Twins.
Our View:
McCutchen is a top prospect among outfielders, but is likely to open the season in the minors. He could get called up at some point, depending on injuries.
March 15, 2009
Andrew McCutchen was 2-for-6 with a triple, a run scored, and three strike outs in Sunday's 7-7 tie with the Rays.
Our View:
He now has 44 at-bats this spring and six extra base hits to show for it. The 22-year-old is only hitting .250 this spring, and unless he gets hot he is likely ticketed to start the season at Triple-A.
January 17, 2009
Andrew McCutchen has reported to the Pirates' minicamp in great shape, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The outfield prospect said, "I just wanted to keep myself strong for the whole season, so getting a little bigger helps. I'm starting to mature a little bit. Maybe it's the metabolism. I know that, when I get on the scale after lifting weights, I'm gaining now. I didn't used to do that."
Our View:
He was the youngest player on their Triple-A roster last season and is motivated to make the Pirates in 2009, but the club intends to start him in the minors again. While in the minors, he should work on tapping his power potential that the club projected for him.
