Jamie Romak

Romak smashed 20 homers and drove in 60 runs between two levels of Single-A ball in 2007. The 22-year-old Canadian slugger needs more polish but has a good bit of potential. Acquired in the Adam LaRoche trade, Romak hit 16 long balls in his professional season at Low-A in 2006. He'll need to gain better command of the strike zone as he begins his ascent up the organizational ladder - Romak's BB:K ratio was a poor 64:114 last year - but the potential is there. Romak represents one of the few legitimate hitting prospects currently in the Pirates farm system.

Traded to Pittsburgh in January of 2007.
