The Pirates have been awarded the second pick in Competitive Round A for the 2020 amateur draft. That currently equates to the 32nd overall pick, although free agent developments could cause a few changes to the slot. The hapless Orioles have the pick before the Pirates. These picks can be traded.
Pirates Get 32nd Overall Draft Pick as Competitive Balance Pick
Wilbur Miller
Having followed the Pirates fanatically since 1965, Wilbur Miller is one of the fast-dwindling number of fans who’ve actually seen good Pirate teams. He’s even seen Hall-of-Fame Pirates who didn’t get traded mid-career, if you can imagine such a thing. His first in-person game was a 5-4, 11-inning win at Forbes Field over Milwaukee (no, not that one). He’s been writing about the Pirates at various locations online for over 20 years. It has its frustrations, but it’s certainly more cathartic than writing legal stuff. Wilbur is retired and now lives in Bradenton with his wife and three temperamental cats.
