Baseball Prospectus has released their top ten list for prospects in the Pittsburgh Pirates system. You need a subscription to read the entire article, but the list is free.
No surprise that Tyler Glasnow leads the list after the season he put up this year. He is followed by Jameson Taillon, who most had ranked ahead of Glasnow coming into the season(BP had Taillon ahead of Gregory Polanco last year), but the combination of a missed season by Taillon and outstanding pitching by Glasnow, has now put Taillon in second.
The rest of the list doesn’t have any surprise names, though the order might be different for some people. BP was high on Reese McGuire last year and down(slightly) on Austin Meadows at the same time, so their rankings on this particular list shouldn’t be a surprise. Mitch Keller is ranked sixth overall, the highest among 2014 draft picks.
