All of the Affiliates have young pitching that evaluates from Good/VG to Excellent at the top two levels. This is going to be a positive influence on the Pirates future for several years. The Position Player situation is young and talented at A and A+, but AA and AAA are out of step with aging players. For instance, at AAA we have 13 position players in the ages of 26 to 30+. At AA we have 6 players who are 25+, and 6 players who are 24.
Wilbur - anyone know what’s up with Solometo?
Shoulder. They don’t seem to think it’s bad.
The best thing about the Bradenton rotation is that it isn’t the Bradenton bullpen.
And I just saw that Carlos Castillo went on IL-7. So their two real pitching prospects are now out.
Well that stinks.
