The Arizona Fall League begins a 32-game schedule on Tuesday afternoon and the Pittsburgh Pirates have sent seven players to the league, where they will be members of the Surprise Saguaros. The group of prospects going to the league took a hit when Austin Meadows, Trevor Williams and Dovydas Neverauskas were all dropped from the team after being on the initial roster submitted by the Pirates. Compared to previous seasons, this would be considered a weak group of prospects, but there are still some interesting players to watch.
We start the preview at third base. The Pirates are sending both Eric Wood and Connor Joe to the league.
