One thing a team should never do is draft for positional need. That is something that is true in all sports, but especially baseball. The Major League Baseball Draft is the hardest one to predict or even understand. One of the many challenges is trying to determine how prep or college players will perform when they are major league ready. This is why the Pittsburgh Pirates should focus on getting the best talent.
Still, there is a good chance that the Bucs are able to also fill some holes in their minor league system. The Pittsburgh Pirates have six draft picks this year and should be able to bring in a lot of upside talent with those picks.
