Pittsburgh Pirates: Revisiting Josh Harrison’s Tenure

Josh Harrison was considered one of our best Pittsburgh Pirates players of the decade. He came in at our number 8 spot of the best Pirate players of the decade, and for a good reason.

He was an extremely productive member of the Pittsburgh Pirates when you take into consideration the defense he provided at many different positions. Today, let’s go over his tenure with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Josh Harrison was originally a 6th round pick of the Chicago Cubs in 2008. But he didn’t last long in the Cubs’ system. In June 2009, the Pittsburgh Pirates acquired Harrison, along with pitchers Jose Ascaino and Kevin Hart for John Grabow and Tom Gorzelanny.
