MLB Pipeline’s latest mock draft has the Pittsburgh Pirates drafting: SS, Aiva Arquette He is a 6’5 right handed hitter that has solid grades: Hit 50 | Power 55 | Run 50 | Arm 60 He hit .353 last year with 18 HRs Thoughts?

Pirates in a nice spot for this draft. Just have to wait and see who is available at their pick. I’d prefer one of the SS, but if a top Pitcher is available then go for it.

Agreed. I like the HS position players, the pitchers available and Arquette.

Just get bats don’t care what positions

SS are athletes!! Draft SS all day long

As long as they have some power, yes

I want them to reach and grab Laviolette. He's a 60 grade power hitting outfielder. A difference making bat at a position that they need. And he's a 4 year college student so he can probably be fast tracked to the majors in short order.

Looks like a good player to try to turn into a pitcher and make them a long reliever.

Sounds exactly like Griffin?

Great fit. MLB ready bat that can hold down SS for a couple years until Griffin/Sanford are ready. Then he eventually slides to 3B as a Hayes replacement.

Really like this pick. Very protectable frame.
