Pirates change affiliate

The Pittsburgh Pirates are moving their low-Class A minor-league affiliate from Hickory (N.C.) to Charleston (W.Va.) in 2009.
Pittsburgh’s new affiliate will be the West Virginia Power, located in Charleston. The two signed an agreement through the 2010 season. The Power play in Appalachian Power Park, which opened in 2005.
Pittsburgh’s other minor-league affiliates – Indianapolis (Class AAA), Altoona (Class AA), Lynchburg (high-Class A), State College (Rookie) and Bradenton (Rookie) – will remain the same.
