Early Career
Evan Meek attended Inglemoor High School in Kenmore, Washington. Afterwards he played for Bellevue Community College also in Washington.[1]
Minor Leagues
After being select by the Minnesota Twins in the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft Meek began playing for the Twins affiliate in the Appalachian League. After three years in the Twins organization Meeks spent the next two seasons in the minor league ranks of the San Diego Padres and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.[2] In the 2007 Rule 5 Draft Meek was selected away from the Devil Rays by the Pittsburg Pirates. This means Meek will have to remain on the active roster for the Pirates for the entire 2008 season or else the Pirates will have to offer him back to the Devil Rays for half the amount they paid for him.[3]
