Peguero with his second home run tonight. He and Nick Gonzales should make a nice middle infield combination in a couple years.

Peguero left the Grasshopper game in the third inning today. No report as to why he left the game. Possible injury?

In the Iowa no hitter vs Indy today Tucker and Kramer struck out 6 of 8 plate appearances. They were both very high draft choices and both are struggling in this early AAA season. Wil Craig is also having a rough time in the early going.

Those 3 have struggled since signing professional contracts.  :(

And two of them are Huntington first round choices. He claimed he was going to build the organization through a steady parade of draft picks. He missed way too often, especially in the first round, and the major league club has paid the price.

Right now, I wonder through the entire organization from top to bottom, where they stand with NH acquisitions and BC as far as the numbers go.



As far as the active roster, there are 14 BC choices, 12 NH. For the 40 man, there are 21 BC and 25 NH



For the people who keep claiming BC is doing nothing, he's already overhauled almost half of the 40 man roster. That's pretty significant considering who makes up a teams 40 man roster.



When they break camp next season, you won't find much of a NH imprint on the team at all. Nor will they be any remaining bad NH contracts, because we all know Polanco will be gone.

With all the high tech technology, analytics, and scouting, you wonder how they could get this so wrong

That's an impressive overhaul in such a short time. Time will tell if it yields results. Those who say BC has done nothing seem to believe nothing counts unless it immediately improves the major league roster. Obviously, BC's plan to improve the MLB roster starts with improving the talent pool in the minors and he has focused a lot on that and very little on the MLB roster, which is in sad shape. To say he has done nothing is clearly wrong. He just hasn't done what those critics want him to do. He may yet fail if his acquisitions turn out no better than NH's. But we'll have to wait and see on that. He'll get praised or criticized depending on the results of this rebuild he's undertaken. Not on how the MLB squad does this year.

Excellent post. I get so infuriated when fans say that BC has done nothing. He has a plan, and he is following it from bringing in players with upside as well as personnel under him who are very good baseball people. I am probably in the minority, but the Pirate Organization is trending upwards.
