The Pittsburgh Pirates have plenty of talent throughout the minor league system, but who are some under-the-radar names to watch at every level?

Minor league baseball is underway with Triple-A having kicked off play earlier this week. The Indianapolis Indians have already played a three games, with the rest of the Pittsburgh Pirates minor league affiliates playing their first game on Friday night.

The minor league system is completely loaded with talent. Much of that talent is approaching the upper levels of the minor leagues, but there are still plenty of names to watch at every level to start the year. There’s a lot to look forward to in the near future between high-end talents and interesting names.

So today, I want to look at one player to watch on every minor league affiliate for the Pittsburgh Pirates. I’m namely looking at guys who aren’t high-end prospects. So don’t expect Quinn Priester or Henry Davis.

Now with that out of the way, let’s go down to Low-A Bradenton and see what they have to offer.
