Jameson Taillon

Hey Pirates Fans,

In case you didn't realize it the Pirates took another step back toward respectability when they took Jameson Taillon at #2 in this year's major league draft. Taillon, a Texas High Schooler is regarded as the best arm in this year's draft and the High Schooler closest to major league ready. That does not mean he'll be there anytime soon. It just means in a few years start looking for him. In the meantime watch him rise through the Pirates system.

The Pirates passed up a Florida high school shortstop who has been compared to ARod in order to take this prospect, so time will tell whether they made the right move. I'm looking forward to seeing him pitch. Go Bucs.
