This is not a bad thing. The Pirates are nowhere near contending and need to stockpile as much young talent as possible. Replenishing the farm system is a start.

Looking at the current roster, there are still a few players that could help further it.
Adam Frazier
With two years left of team control, Frazier may be appealing to a contender in need of a utility man.
