Four Pirates make top 100 prospects list; spring training TV schedule

Four Pirates minor leaguers made ESPN analyst Keith Law’s top 100 prospect list, which was released today. 

Tyler Glasnow, Austin Meadows, Kevin Newman and Josh Bell were all ranked. You can find the list and write-ups (which is ESPN Insider content, behind a paywall) here. Keith does a great job with these, drawing from his own scouting reports, and conversations with scouts and executives.

Law also ranked all 30 farm systems earlier this week. He had the Pirates eighth.
