Baseball is fairly unique. Twenty-five players comprise a major league
squad, but an organization has contractual control over significantly
more than that amount. They are prospects - players in the minor
leagues. Take a glance at a major league team today and a good portion
of their players were in that teams farm system in the past. That's one
of the focuses of Buried Treasure - examining and evaluating the minor
league system of the Pittsburgh Pirates because it's the lifeblood and
foundation of the major league team.
