Updates on two players going to college:
–Kendall Rogers of Perfect Game reports that 17th round pick Aaron Brown will be going to Pepperdine.
–Drew Champlin, a Troy University reporter, tells us that Joel Bennett, the 11th round pick, will be going to Troy.
Tim started Pirates Prospects in 2009 from his home in Virginia, which was 40 minutes from where Pedro Alvarez made his pro debut in Lynchburg. That year, the Lynchburg Hillcats won the Carolina League championship, and Pirates Prospects was born from Tim's reporting along the way. The site has grown over the years to include many more writers, and Tim has gone on to become a credentialed MLB reporter, producing Pirates Prospects each year, and will publish his 11th Prospect Guide this offseason. He has also served as the Pittsburgh Pirates correspondent for Baseball America since 2019. Behind the scenes, Tim is an avid music lover, and most of the money he gets paid to run this site goes to vinyl records.
Would’ve loved to have seen us sign Brown, too. Oh well.
cole and bell are buccos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dejan reports we signed #’s 1 & 2!!!!
Brown seems to be a loss. So many pitchers signed, not enough position players. Makes me wonder.
Darn… oh well hopefully we will hear some good news soon
