The old Pirates would of taken the 5th best player on the board at #1 or #2 to save money. They put so much money and effort into the drafts now, I would find it hard to believe they would pass on the kid. He will demand big money, but so did Pedro last year and they got er done........THEY BETTER TAKE THAT SS

looks like they will...
remember they almost didn't get it done with PedroComment -
Pedro was the year before, last year they took the catcher out of BC. I am guessing they take the SS, the pitcher they are also considering is still in high school and from what I understand, that is a risky proposition. Let`s Go Bucs 2021!Comment -
Oh and he throws 99 mphComment -
They willComment -
Yeah they took Tailon and he tops out at 99 on average he is between 92-96 mph.Like I said though he is huge and still in High School so who knows what it will be when he is fully grown.Comment -
If they ever want to stop being the biggest joke in MLB they should start to take the best player available.Comment -
I like the pitcher...but still would of rather seen the SS with some, so they say, pop in the bat. With Pedro and a upcoming decent SS coming up for the future...would of made me happy.
I guess after 18 years and not one big name hard throwing pitcher to be named, I am happy with the big kid also.Comment -
HS pitchers are a huge gamble.....
hell getting any pitcher out of the draft an into the majors without a meeting with Dr. James Andrew's knive, is tough anymoreComment -
That was the pirates best draft in yearsComment
