Right now, the Major League Baseball Draft is in jeopardy of not occurring. Apparently, the MLB is concerned over the financial implications of the draft as well as service time for the players. Still, the draft will only be temporarily suspended and it will eventually happen. When it does happen, the Pittsburgh Pirates will have the seventh overall pick, their highest since picking first overall in 2011.
One position that was simply ignored during the Neal Huntington era was left-handed starting pitching. The only left-handed pitching prospect he ever signed inside the top top rounds was Blake Taylor, who he quickly traded to the Mets.
