Tyler Glasnow tops Baseball America's top Pirates prospects list

Baseball America has released its list of the top 10 Pirates prospects. Tyler Glasnow, Austin Meadows and Josh Bell top the list. Harold Ramirez, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, comes in at No. 5, followed by a series of former first-round draft choices and then Elias Diaz at the end. Alen Hanson isn't on the list, and there's no explanation as to why. (Joh Perrotto is doing a chat later today, and I'm sure he'll get asked that question.) A few tidbits from the scouting reports (which are for subscribers only, but well worth paying for):

-P- BA writes that Glasnow's curveball is great when he can command it, but that command of the pitch is an issue.
