With the 2015 MLB draft a few weeks away, this is a good time to look back at some of the Pirates' recent drafts, specifically the first five conducted by this front office.

Draft rounds are in parentheses, positions are the ones announced at the draft, WAR totals are from Fangraphs.

Pedro Alvarez, 3B (1): Alvarez remains a starter, now at 1B due to major throwing problems, but he's never become the hitter the Pirates envisioned due to massive swing-and-miss tendencies.
