FanGraphs releases Pirates top 25 prospect list
Sorry if this is a bit dated, but FanGraphs a few days ago released Eric Longenhagen’s list of the Pirates’ top 25 prospects, along with a lengthy list of honorable mentions. Mitch Keller ranks at the top, of course. Beyond that, the list is a bit quirky compared to some others, I think because FG tends to dig deeper to find guys with some ceiling and puts less value on upper level players who are likely major leaguers but don’t profile as more than backups or relievers. Hence, they have rookie-level outfielder Lolo Sanchez at #6 (which I’m perfectly happy to see), rookie-level right-hander Steven Jennings at #10 and DSL third baseman Sherten Apostel at #14.
