The Future of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Prospect Chart
Alright well I’m no baseball scout or super insider who gets all the scouting reports, but I’m a dedicated fan who has a laptop and knows how to use the internet. With those the resources and the drive to do it, I’ve compiled this list of players that are going to make up the future of the Pittsburgh Pirates. It doesn’t look pretty when I post it on this blog, so here’s the link to the actual spreadsheet file you can open - http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/6/14/68533/Prospects.xlsx
I posted the position players earlier, and I’ve finished up the pitchers now, so I’m going to post them all at once here. So here it goes.

The next step is to develop (or obtain) more talent in the middle infield. Any lineup that Garrett Jones can’t crack is pretty impressive. Problem is, most guys are 30+ by the time they attain free agency. FA SS in 2010 (with ages):
Orlando Cabrera (35)
Alex Cora (34)
Craig Counsell (39)
Bobby Crosby (30)
Adam Everett (33)
Chris Gomez (39)
Alex Gonzalez (32) – $6MM mutual option with a $500K buyout
Khalil Greene (30)
Jerry Hairston Jr. (34)
John McDonald (35)

Let’s hope Cedeno (who, BTW, is missing from your list) and Argenis Diaz turn out to be servicable.
And actually, your chart looks fine on my browser (Chrome). Nice work, and bookmark worthy!
I only put players on that list that are going to be part of the future of the Pirates, Ronny Cedeno certainly won’t be part of the future…
i would like to see orlando hudson in the burgh for sure
