Their future is starting to look a bit brighter. Nice to see some of the people that I met IP on there. Owens is the sleeper on this list IMO.

Amazing how far Gorkys has fallen....to now rank 10th on the Pirates list.

Who would have thought Alderson would be 7th on the list? I figured 3 or so when he got traded.

Next season will be the rise of Jarek Cunningham!

 

[subject to change]

I'm very surprised to see D'Arnaud ranked that high. Also surprised to see Alderson drop that low. Even though there have been concerns over his development and ability to repeat his delivery, I was still impressed by his performance as a 20 year old in AA. Otherwise, the list looks about right to me.
