2010
The Pirates managed to keep Veal, a Rule 5 pickup, on its roster in 2009 by using 30-day minor league rehab stints and pitching him sparingly in the majors. On the surface, Veal appears to have a tough road ahead of him. His command was non-existent at the big league level. He posted a 16:20 K:BB ratio for the Bucs in 19 games and 16.1 innings. Lefties with mid-90s fastballs are hard to find, however, and an outstanding Arizona Fall League showing could put Veal in the mix for a 2010 roster spot. He went 3-1 with a 2.14 ERA in 21 AFL innings. Perhaps more importantly, Veal posted an impressive 22:7 K:BB ratio. It's hard to imagine Veal gaining consistent control of his pitches, but stranger things have happened.
2009
Veal repeated Double-A in 2008, but once again struggled with his control, issuing 81 walks in 145.1 IP. Veal can miss bats with his low-90s fastball and above-average curve, but until he hones his command, he won't merit a trip to the big leagues. Incidentally, the Cubs left him unprotected this offseason, so he'll try to turn things around with the Pirates -- likely in the bullpen -- in 2009.
2008
After a promising season both at Low-A and High-A in 2006, Veal took a step back during the first half of last year at Double-A, struggling with his command. But after the All-Star break, Veal's numbers improved dramatically across the board - 48:19 K:BB ratio in 46 innings and just three home runs allowed. Veal, who has a low-to-mid-90s fastball and a hard-breaking curve, could wind up in the mix for some starts later in the year if he builds on his strong second half.
