The Pirates drafted Matt Clark in the 28th round in the 2007 Draft, but a productive season in 2008 likely means an improved First-Year Player Draft position for Clark in coming years. Only a junior, Clark has the potential and patience to be a major offensive threat from the left side of the plate in the future. In his college career, the former JUCO All-American has already shown significant power to all fields.
