BRADENTON, Fla. -- As the Pirates wrapped up their final workout at Pirate City on Thursday morning, Joey Cora was instructing John Jaso as he put in extra work at third base. Kimera Bartee was standing in front of two sliding mats in the outfield grass, overseeing the final drill before the Bucs packed up the clubhouse and moved across town to LECOM Park.
Bartee is in his first spring as the Bucs' new outfield, baserunning and first-base coach, while Cora went from managing in Double-A last year to serving as Pittsburgh's infield and third-base coach.
