Félix Pie (pronounced Pee-ay) is a center fielder for the Iowa Cubs, the AAA affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. Pie, born February 8, 1985, is considered to be the top prospect in the Chicago Cubs organization. He signed with them on July 2, 2001 as a non-drafted free agent.
Pie is a highly-touted young prospect who is considered a "five-tool player" who has been put on the fast-track to reaching the big-league club, although he is not expected to start the 2007 season with the major-league club. Despite obvious talent, Pie's strikeout rates continue to be much higher than average.
[edit] Minor League Career
Pie started with the Mesa Cubs, the Chicago Cubs R affiliate, in 2002. He played in 55 games and hit .321, with 4 home runs and 37 runs batted in. He was called up to Boise where he played in 2 games. He played for the Lansing Lugnuts, one of the Cubs' A affiliates in 2003. There, he hit .285 with 4 home runs and 47 runs batted in. In 2004, he played for the Daytona Cubs, another one of the Cubs A affiliates. He hit .301 with 8 home runs and 47 runs batted in. In 2005, he played for the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx. He hit .304 with 11 home runs and 25 runs batted in. His season was shortened due to a broken ankle suffered during the season. He was likely going to be called up to the Chicago Cubs along with Adam Greenberg to replace the struggling Corey Patterson and Jason Dubois. But due to his injury, the Cubs called up outfielder Matt Murton instead of Pie. In 2006 his season began poorly, as he hit .222 in June and slugged only .343, but soon after he broke out of his slump to end with a batting average of .282, on-base percentage of .341, and slugging percentage of .451.
