A look at how the current top 30 prospects did today. If a player is in the majors and loses his prospect eligibility, he will be removed. Everyone below him will be shifted up a spot, and a new player will be added to the bottom of the list. If a player is out for […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates have promoted right-handed pitcher Nick Kingham to the Altoona Curve. He made his last two starts for the Bradenton Marauders, throwing six shutout innings while striking out seven batters on Tuesday. In his prior start, he threw five shutout innings. Kingham is working his way back from Tommy John surgery, which happened […]

The Bradenton Marauders have placed right-handed pitcher Yeudy Garcia on the seven day disabled list with a right toe sprain, and infielder Chase Simpson has been placed on the seven day disabled list with a left ankle sprain. Garcia’s move is retroactive to August 14th. In his last start on Saturday, Garcia threw five shutout […]

I didn’t really have a top in mind when I started this article, but I wanted to take a look at two players in similar situations this year. Both started the season off great, but they have both really tailed off over the last 4-5 weeks. There is a big difference between the two and […]

It was coincidental that we had two articles today discussing blocked prospects throughout the system. Part of that was due to a change in schedule, with a need for a follow-up interview pushing my story back a day. But another part of that was due to the fact that it’s difficult to write about any […]

This includes a home run on Monday night that he crushed over the center field […]

Just over three weeks into the minor league season, we take a look at players in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ system that are among the top ten in offensive and pitching categories for their league. For the International League, Steve Lombardozzi is second in batting average at .378, second with a .459 OBP and sixth with […]

Over the off-season, FanGraphs released an article naming Deibinson Romero as the top minor league free agent, based on Steamer projections. Those projections had Romero as a 1.9 WAR player if he was a league average third baseman, or a 1.0 WAR player with less than league average third base defense. The hope was that […]

West Virginia took two out of three on the road from Hagerstown. The series included the completion of a game suspended two weeks ago, along with a rain out of a regularly scheduled game. Much of the interest with this year’s edition of the Power lies with the hitters rather than the pitchers. The Pirates […]
