Pirates Prospects Player of the Week: Oneil Cruz

This was a very strange week in the minors. Out of the top four levels, there were 16 players who reached the magical .800 OPS cut-off I use below to make the team summaries. There were also 14 pitchers who threw shutout ball for at least three innings. It was a strong week for the system as a whole, yet no one had a big week as you will see below. That led to some big differences in the voting for these spots, including the top spot, which went to Oneil Cruz, who won despite starting just four games.
