MIAMI -- At the start of the 2015 season, Josh Harrison was the everyday third baseman for the Pirates. Harrison broke out in a big way in 2014, getting a lot of work as a super utility player. However, his ability to play third base, combined with no good options at third, led to the everyday role.
As Jung-ho Kang started emerging as an everyday player, Harrison started moving around more, with Kang getting more playing time at third base. But Harrison went down with a thumb injury in early July, which means we really didn't get a long look at how the Pirates would treat his situation with Kang performing so well, and with Jordy Mercer picking up the pace in the second half.
