Meek to stay with Pirates organization: The Sports Xchange reports that Evan Meek will stay in the Pirates organization and be sent to one of the minor league clubs after Tampa Bay decided to accept cash from the Pirates rather than take the reliever back on its 40-man roster as part of the Rule 5 draft process.

Fantasy Analysis
Rule 5 players are required to stay on major league rosters all season unless they clear waivers, and Meek did so after being designated for assignment May 4. Meek went 0-1 with a 6.92 ERA in nine relief appearances with the Pirates to start the season and is not worth a roster spot in Fantasy leagues at this time. (Updated 05/15/2008).
