Over the past several years, the Pittsburgh Pirates organization has regularly been ranked in the top half of the league in terms of Minor League systems. Now some of the players that held the team in such high regards have made their way to Pittsburgh as the Buccos get younger and younger. While it’s still a small sample size from what could be a successful squad come next year, I’d go as far as to say that the kids are all right. Thank you, Darren Yuvan and Roger Daltrey for letting me use that line.
As someone who is often covering the careers of some of these prospects, I am now thrilled to see that their promotion to the big leagues has largely been paying off.
