The Pittsburgh Pirates face a critical decision on November 14th, as they must add promising young players to their forty-man roster to protect them from the Rule Five Draft. Among the seven eligible prospects, catcher Omar Alfonzo and shortstop/third baseman Jack Brannigan stand out. Alfonzo showcased impressive power and defensive skills, while Brannigan demonstrated potential despite injury setbacks. Left-handed pitcher Anthony Solometo and right-handed pitcher Wilber Dotel also have potential, but have struggled with injuries and inconsistency. Unranked pitchers Antwone Kelly and Brandan Bidois are strong candidates as well, with Kelly hitting triple digits with his fastball and Bidois earning the Minor League Reliever of the Year award. The Pirates must carefully consider their options to retain their most valuable talent.
