Sorry guys, was unable to get this started during lunch, so here it is. Cue the dulcet tones of Stevie Nicks, for it was a landslide for Travis Swaggerty in the 5th round.



Tim on Pirates Prospects has tiered ratings, and the last 3 were all in the same tier. So we're on to tier 4, and this one should be very interesting. Adding Jared Oliva, who had a breakout year last year, and Tahnaj Thomas, acquired in the Luplow/Moroff trade. Soon to come, Gage Hinsz and Steve Jennings and any recommendations you may have.



The results so far:

#1- Mitch Keller, 23 year-old RHSP, 2018- Altoona/Indy, shoud make MLB debut this year. 68.2% of the vote

#2- Ke'Bryan Hayes, 21 year-old 2x minor league gold glove 3B, Altoona in 2018, Probably Indy in 2019. 92.3% of the vote

#3- Cole Tucker, 22- year-old SS, Altoona in 2018, Altoona or Indy probably in 2019- 59.1% of the vote

#4- O'Neil Cruz, 21, probably too big to be a SS, probably blocked by KBH at 3rd, but a bat too good to be ignored. 48.1% of the vote.

#5- Travis Swaggerty, 21, CF, #1 draft pick, high upside. 83.7% of the vote

I like Mitchell here. I don’t think that Kramer or Reynolds have the upside here to be considered a better prospect than Mitchell. I think what he did in his first full season merits a lot of acclaim

This one's wide open- 7 players have been voted for.

Though I prefer Mitchell, I definitely think Kramer after him. Craig is trending towards non-prospect to me. He’s a guy that will hang around for a while, but his ceiling as a first baseman is very low.
