We have mentioned a few times this year that the Pittsburgh Pirates have a strong group of position player prospects at three of their four full-season affiliates. That was also the case last year, although the weak team was the West Virginia Power instead of the Bradenton Marauders.
We assumed last year that the Marauders would be bad this season because that's the natural progression up the system. It was an older group at West Virginia, which is what held them back the most. I thought it would be a good time to look at the 2017 Power offense to see where they ended up.
