For his new Scoop blog, John Sickels grades out the Pirates prospects. Not much in the way of surprise or originality there. Sickels appears to agree with the frequent assessment of the system as chock-full of C and B prospects.
Wilbur, Mike, and other regulars on the internets were all over it in the comments.
Don't be stunned if one of the C or B prospects goes and has a breakout year. That happens. Ollie was a C prospect for Sickels. That said, don't ask me to predict which player will do this. I see Duke getting 15-20 starts for the Pirates this year with results something like what Sean Burnett (without the injury) turned in last year. Decent but not Greg Maddux, fully-formed and invincible. There will be bigger worries.
