Farrell originally was a thirdbaseman, but moved to first
last year. The Pirates drafted him as a thirdbaseman. He does not
have good bat speed, but managed
to hit for good power in 2008 after having some injury problems
prior to that. He did not do well in two years in the wood bat Cape Cod
League, but he supposedly made some adjustments in 2008. Farrell's numbers
aren't overwhelming, but Virginia appears to have played in a low-offense environment.
Among other things, he accounted for nearly half the team's HRs (11 of 25) by himself. Farrell's father,
John, is the Red Sox pitching coach and was reportedly sought-after
by the Pirates for their managerial job. Farrell signed relatively quickly and should
head to State College. He'll probably be the regular at 3B, but the
Pirates drafted so many thirdbasemen that it's hard to be sure.
