Taillon makes top 50 best prospects
Jameson Taillon hasn’t made his debut yet –he will most likely start the 2011 season at low-A West Virginia– in fact, he is still several years away from the majors.
The hype that surrounds the Pirates first round (2nd overall) draft pick from 2010 continues to buzz as he was named the 18th best prospect on MLB.com’s top 50 list (The top 50 prospects were named live on MLB Network on Tuesday). Taillon was also named the sixth-best right-handed pitching prospect in baseball by MLB.com’s Jonathan Mayo (For a complete list, click here)
Taillon, who stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 225-pounds, was drafted out of The Woodlands High School in Texas this past June. He finished 8-1 with a 1.78 ERA and 114 strikeouts in 62 2/3 innings.
October leaders
The results are in and for the month of October, your’s truly is number 23 in the top 50 MLB Fan blogs. That marks my third straight month in the top 50. Thanks to everyone who reads and to all the other winners. I’m very pleased considering the Pirates were not in much news or talk during October. Thanks to Mark for also featuring me on the MLBLOG’s homepage the past several days.
Here is a list of all the winners. Congrats! Happy off season and hot stove.
