FanGraphs has released the 2016 Pittsburgh Pirates ZiPS projections today, giving us our first look at the projections for the upcoming season. Normally when the ZiPS projections are released, the Pirates have a team that is pretty much set. This time around, the team is far from set, with a lot of projected moves still to take place. The Pirates will almost certainly add another starting pitcher, a first base option, a left-handed reliever, and more bullpen and bench depth.
As with any projections, this is mostly for entertainment, and to fuel off-season discussion until the season rolls around.
