Uviedo pitched very well in 2005, with a WHIP of 0.95, but Seattle cut him loose and the Pirates signed him.  He did well again in the VSL, this time as a closer.  In 2007, after a brief stint as a fill-in at Lynchburg, he joined State College as their closer.  He was very effective there, aside from one awful outing early in the season that inflated his ERA.  He moved up to Hickory for three late-season games, pitching badly in one and well in the other two.  Uviedo has very good stuff, as his high K rates show.  He throws his fastball around 94 and has a sharp curve.  To the extent he had trouble in 2007, it was mainly with gopher balls, as he allowed seven in 34.2 IP overall.  He'll open 2008 at Hickory, possibly as the closer. He may be a guy worth watching.
