The Pirates need rotation help in the majors, as I outlined in today’s article over at No Quarter.
Fortunately, they have some talented pitching prospects in the minors, including two guys with top of the rotation potential who could be in the majors very soon. Beyond Quinn Priester and Roansy Contreras, the Pirates are spread out well, with promising pitchers at every level in the system.
The Pirates don’t have a great history of turning their top pitching prospects into top pitchers in Pittsburgh, so hopefully they fix whatever issue was leading to that before this next group arrives.
