Keith Law breaks down Harrington ahead of debut

Baseball prospect writer Keith Law from The Athletic joined the show. Keith doesn’t think Thomas Harrington, who is making his MLB debut tonight, is a Top 100 prospect on his board. He said Harrington does locate his pitches very well, but doesn’t have a strong out-pitch. Keith thinks Harrington could be a #4 starter this year. Keith talked about what Harrington can do to become a better arm at the Major League level. The Pirates also made a trade last night with the Mets – acquiring Alexander Canario, who has shown minor league power in his career so far. Keith likes the move because their system lacks power and pop. Keith said the bar is pretty low for the Pirates, which means Canario is the perfect type of guy the organization should be picking up. Keith had a few remarks about Konnor Griffin, the Pirates 1st round pick from last season. Keith got into some of the issues the Pirates have had taking chances on guys that don’t mesh with what they can develop.
