The minor league season began yesterday for three of the four full-season affiliates of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Indianapolis Indians open up their season tonight with Nick Kingham on the mound and a roster full of top 50 prospects. I wanted to use this space to show where the top prospects in the system are right now.
I broke this down into three groups, so you can see both the strength and the depth for each club. I'm going to list how many top ten prospects are with each club first. Then the top 30, followed by the top 50 prospects.
