Pittsburgh Pirates and Five Players to be Excited about Next Year

The Pirates are concluding yet another terrible season with only two games left in the 2010 schedule. They are going to pick first overall in next year's draft and have over 100 losses.

With any luck they will be just a little bit better in 2011 and will make huge strides in 2012. No need to look that far ahead as you will need a reason to get tickets for next year.

These are the five players that will have you glued to the television next year when the Pirates are on FSN.
