I see that he last played for the Greensboro Grasshoppers. Is that Rookie League?
It's in the South Atlantic League (A).
Is he an invitee to Spring Training?

The Pirates have not actually announced a group of players invited to ST. I think three or four have received an invitation, but normally a team announces a group at one time. I am going to assume prior to ST an announcement will be made.

Martin 1b

Peguero SS
Hays 3B
Reynolds LF
Swaggerty / Head CF
Cruz Rf
C. Smith DH
E. Rodriguez C
Pitchers

There are some other pieces which need to be added, but this group of players could become a very nice foundation to build from.
Of that group, which ones do you think could become standouts and which ones just serviceable major leaguers?
As gas as standouts going foreword; I think Cruz and Gonzales have the most upside tools. I would have to see more of the pitchers before making a guess
