Two of the most talented infield prospects in this year’s draft are Termarr Johnson and Brooks Lee. But who should the Pittsburgh Pirates pick between the two?

The Pittsburgh Pirates will have the fourth overall selection in this year’s draft. The draft is quickly approaching, as we’re only about a month out from it. The Pirates will have another chance to snag a potential long-term building block for the team, and two of the best players that could be available when they are on the clock are infielders.

That’s Termarr Johnson and Brooks Lee. Johnson and Lee should both go in the first five picks. Many have the Pirates picking Lee at no. 4, but it’s entirely possible they go with the high school pick, something Ben Cherington has yet to do in the first round since taking over as general manager. Both are highly talented players, but which one should the Pirates take if both are available to them at no. 4?
