Craig is joined by Jonathan Mayo from MLB Pipeline to discuss the state of Pirates Farm System: including the organization slipping in recent rankings, the fact that not every system is created or graded equally, the effect of promotions, acquiring guys with high ceilings and potentially low floors, the lack of hitting depth, their emergence as a pitching factory and the difference between drafted and traded player rankings.
