Pirates’ David Bednar Having an Impressive Rookie Campaign
Through 137 games, the Pittsburgh Pirates have posted a 5.13 ERA and have struggled to hold leads. One bright spot, however, has been David Bednar, who has emerged as an elite arm.

This is the beginning of a series that will look to narrow down a franchise’s great players to a 26-man roster. There will be some left off, arguments may ensue, and friendships could be lost. Nevertheless, let’s take a look at the Twins/Senators franchise.

We recently saw the week of the Arizona Diamondbacks play out. It was not that special of a week, just a really bad team winning against some good teams. The New York Mets must have seen the week of Arizona and thought, “we can do better.” And boy, did they.

Buckle up Pittsburgh Pirates fans, we will be talking about your team, but in a good way. Last time on the deep-dive series, your former closer Richard Rodriguez was exposed for the weird pitcher that he is.

The Boston Red Sox depth has been tested over the last two weeks. Due to a COVID outbreak and injuries, Boston has been without some of its top bullpen arms. In that span, Garrett Whitlock has continued to come in clutch for the Red Sox.

What is each MLB contender’s biggest x-factor? This will be the player that not necessarily be the team’s best player, but their performance will be important to help them into the postseason and further.

Over the last few years, the Houston Astros have struggled to develop top 100 prospects. While Houston currently has the 29th best system, they have some talent getting closer to the majors. One player on the rise is outfielder Alex Mckenna.

The pipeline of prospects is important to a team like the A’s and they have a few guys who can make an impact. Oakland’s main guys could make their mark on the big league team by next season.

The Cleveland Indians are starting the transition to a new core. With four prospects in the top-100 and the 13th-ranked system in all of baseball, the Indians are set up to have a very young, but very talented team in 2022.

Despite some recent graduations and trades of the Rays’ top prospects, they still have a solid farm system and are one of the best in the league in developing talent.

For the majority of the 2021 season, the Red Sox have been without Chris Sale. In August, however, that has not been the case as Sale was activated from the injured list three weeks ago.

The San Diego Padres have made quite a few big moves since A.J. Preller took over as GM. Although they have traded away a few good prospects, they still have a handful that could be big-time major leaguers.
