Painful to Post

I read the article of the Bucs Official Site regarding the ETA of the top prospects in baseball. I found the following particularly painful ---
"September
Shane Baz, RHP, Rays (No. 89)
Prospect promotions in September could be even more rare as roster expansion is limited to only 28 players. That said, the Rays figure to be in the thick of either the AL East or Wild Card (or both) races and might want to make Baz this year's version of McClanahan. The right-hander can touch triple-digits with his fastball and showcases an easy plus slider. That will work in the bullpen at the tail end of his age-22 season."
Putting Glasnow aside, the prospects for future impact pitching on the Pirates sure would look a lot better with Baz still being in Pittsburgh.
The article also identified Cruz as a June call-up by the Pirates.
