The baseball draft is coming up on June 9, so it's time again to look back at the Pirates' drafting. This first installment will just update the retrospectives from a year ago, which covered 2008-12.

Later installments will cover the 2013-15 drafts.
2008
There isn't a lot of mystery left with this draft. Excluding players who didn't sign (Tanner Scheppers, Drew Gagnon, Austin Wright), it produced Pedro Alvarez, Jordy Mercer and Justin Wilson. Robbie Grossman and Chase d'Arnaud are still around as well, basically AAAA players now.
