Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Pirates fans and fans across the country.
Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. This week’s question asked about Pirates top prospect Konnor Griffin. After a Spring Training in which he showed off his prodigious power, but also some inconsistency at the plate, the Bucs sent Griffin back to Triple-A.
He still has a chance to come up later this year, but for now, he’ll start the season in the Minors. We asked if you thought that was the right move? A full 82 percent agree with the team’s decision.
Instead of rushing Konnor, get him a little more seasoning at the Minor League level. Seems like a prudent move. As always, thanks for voting, and don’t forget to check out the page of our Reacts sponsor FanDuel .
