Bucs add another Mesa to fold
Closer's son, left fielder Juan, drafted in 23rd round
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates are hoping that Jose Mesa is as proficient
at producing a big league hitter as he is at getting them out.
Wednesday, the Bucs drafted Mesa's son, outfielder Juan, in the 23rd round of
the First-Year Player Draft.
"I'm proud. That was my dream to see him be a ballplayer and see what he could
do," Jose Mesa said.
"He's got a lot of potential. It's just a matter of him going out there and
proving what he can do."
At his father's urging, Juan, 20, worked out privately with the Pirates last
summer. Pittsburgh manager Lloyd McClendon was impressed with what he saw from
the 6-foot-2, 190-pound left fielder.
"I thought he had a little juice in the bat," said McClendon. "He's a strong
kid. It was pretty interesting. I liked the size of his body, the agility and
the bat speed. I think he's got a chance."
Because the native Dominican had enrolled briefly at Miami Dade Junior College
prior to the workout, the Pirates could not sign Juan Mesa to a professional
contract at the time.
"As we later learned, because of going [college], he had to enter the draft,"
said Pirates GM Dave Littlefield.
Soon after Juan was drafted, the 39-year-old Bucs closer was asked if he
thought there might be a chance that he'd one day play in the big leagues with
his son. "If he makes it quick," Jose Mesa said, smiling. "I'm not going to
stick around forever."
