Pirates Are Set to Rely More on Their Prospect Depth in 2016

BRADENTON, Fl. – There was no shortage of prospects on the McKechnie Field mound today for the Black and Gold game. Tyler Glasnow and Jameson Taillon highlighted the game by going up against each other, and were followed by Chad Kuhl, Steven Brault, Trevor Williams, and John Holdzkom. But the question is when might we see these guys on the mound in PNC Park?

It’s pretty much a guarantee that Tyler Glasnow and Jameson Taillon will need to start the year in Indianapolis. Glasnow needs improvements on dropping his curveball in for strikes, and improving his changeup, while Taillon needs to get adjusted to upper level hitting again.
