Sorry, misread the Q, took it to mean that people were questioning why Marte wasn’t a prospect.

Marte isn’t a prospect any more because he used up his rookie status in 2012. BA removes players from the prospect lists once they no longer qualify as rookies.

Willy Garcia with a better arm than Polanco? Must’ve been a fun outfield to watch in West Virginia.

He wrote for Pirate Report, a Nutting enterprise.

Not even sure if it is still around.

Calling that capsule “gratuitous” would be kind.

The write up by Perrotto was terrible. Not only does it have a total of one paragraph about actual prospects (I mean I think this was a write up on the system’s prospects? Silly me) but it has inaccurate information about Nutting ending the SEALS stuff.

Seriously, I thought there would be some info written about prospects 6 to 10 but not a single word.

Terrible write up by Perotto. Love how he discusses nothing about the players until teh very end. Oh by the way, this system is one of the top 10 in MLB, easily.

Yeah, but they usually do make some effort to take reality, like age and contract status, into account. There’s no way on earth Martin remains a Pirate in 2016. I just read that as a cheap shot at Tony Sanchez.

Speaking of which, it would’ve been nice to read about the team’s farm system in this feature about the team’s farm system, but Perrotto used the introductory article to rehash all the military stuff, which BA just rehashed in a feature article. I guess Perrotto still hasn’t gotten over Nutting firing him.
