For those of you who haven't heard of Gregory Polanco, he the #1 rated prospect in arguably the best farm system in the MLB with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Through 21 games this season in AAA, he is hitting a .421 average with 4 Home Runs and 23 RBIs. All signs indicate that he will be brought up to the majors in early June (would be earlier if certain rules and aspects of his contract, such as arbitration eligibility weren't keeping him down). He is a classic, 5-tool player who has the potential to be the best Right Fielder in all of baseball (he is a natural Center Fielder, but as the Pirates have Andrew McCutchen, the reigning MVP, he will be forced to RF). Here are some articles on him if you want to know more about who Polanco is, because sooner or later, you will know his name. www.post-gazette.com/sports/pirates/2014/04/27/Excitement-mounting-for-Gregory-Polanco/stories/201404260163sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mlb/news/20140425/pirates-prospect-gregory-polanco-next-big-thing/#ixzz2zutM3Ba0www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/24539169/wunderkind-polanco-tearing-up-minors-patient-pirates-resist-calluprumbunter.com/2014/04/26/pittsburgh-pirates-gregory-polanco-time-burn-boats/I know this is me just tooting my own horn here about Polanco, but I cannot help but get excited over this kid, especially with the struggles the Pirates have had so far this season (they are 9-16 this season and 4-13 since April 11th). I know baseball is a VERY long season (there is still more than 5 months left to play), but the Pirates need some kind of answer right now.
