Morning Report: Youth in Indianapolis, Team History and a Possible New Country for the Pirates

Baseball America posted an article on Wednesday in which they ranked the farm systems by the average age of the players on the Opening Day rosters. According to BA, the Pittsburgh Pirates have the tenth youngest farm system. The also listed the youngest team in each league. I mentioned yesterday that West Virginia didn't have a single position player who was under the age of 22, making them one of the older Low-A teams among the 30 clubs. On the flip side, BA notes that Indianapolis is the youngest team in the International League.

The comparison between Indianapolis and West Virginia gets crazier when you realize that Austin Meadows would be the youngest position player on the Power right now.
