The Pirates have reassigned 2011 No. 1 overall pick Gerrit Cole to minor league camp. Cole didn't appear in a league game last year since he signed right up against the deadline in August, so the move doesn't come as a big surprise. The 21-year-old right-hander is expected to begin his pro career with High-A Bradenton. He packs ace potential.
