When the Pittsburgh Pirates signed Tito Polo for $25,000 out of Colombia in early 2012, it was his name that drew the most attention....

We plan to have an article dedicated to the international side each Sunday throughout the season. So until the Dominican Summer League begins play on June 2nd, we will look at recaps of the previous international signing classes and see where they currently stand. Today we look at the progress of the 2011-12 signing class. […]

PITTSBURGH – The Pirates completed two of their deadline deals this week, sending two players to be named later in the Ivan Nova deal, and receiving two in the Arquimedes Caminero trade. Tito Polo and Stephen Tarpley both went to the Yankees in the Nova trade, while Jake Brentz and Pedro Vasquez came back in […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates have sent outfielder Tito Polo and left-handed pitcher Stephen Tarpley to the New York Yankees as the players to be named later to complete the Ivan Nova trade. Ivan Nova has shown a lot to like so far, and if the Pirates were trading for this version, then Polo and Tarpley would […]

The month of June has come to an end, so it’s time to take a look at the team leaders around the farm system for the Pittsburgh Pirates. I’m going to include Morgantown and the DSL, but it’s a little too early to include the GCL or Bristol, so they can wait until the end […]

On the surface, it seems silly to be discussing the Rule 5 draft at the start of July. The event is in December, and players don’t need to be protected until mid-November. The event previously got a lot of hype because of the players the Pirates could potentially add at the top of the draft, […]

A look at how the current top 30 prospects did today.  Note that this list doesn’t include players currently in the majors. If a player is in the majors, 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. […]
