Two Pirates Make Baseball America’s Top 50 Prospects

Yesterday, we took a look at the new prospect rankings from Baseball Prospectus, which had five Pittsburgh Pirates' players in the top 50. That includes Jameson Taillon, who they left off the list due to injury, but noted he would have been in the top twenty. Baseball America has released their new list today and they have two Pirates, Tyler Glasnow and Josh Bell.

Glasnow ranks #7 on the new list, moving that high because so many players from their top 20 have graduated to the majors already. You have to go all the way down to #45 for Bell, who they say has shown power and the ability to hit for average, just not at the same time.
