Meaux was far less regarded than Felix Diaz when they arrived in the Kenny Lofton trade, but he appears a good bet to reach the majors as a situational lefthander or, possibly, a setup man. He's part of the same Lamar (Colo.) CC pipeline that produced Brandon McCarthy. Meaux doesn't have a plus pitch and has to be seen with the game on the line to be appreciated. His makeup is outstanding. He knows how to pitch and has developed tremendous command of all his pitches: a mid-80s fastball, a good curveball and a changeup he throws infrequently. He doesn't beat himself, permitting just four unintentional walks and two homers in 93 innings last year. He could earn a spot in Triple-A in spring training and be in Chicago before the year is over.
