The biggest weakness this year for the Pittsburgh Pirates has been an area that has often been perceived as a strength in the past for the team: their defense. Coming into the year, one could say that their defense would be good again. After all, Gregory Polanco was now the full-time right fielder, and while he would still be adjusting to parameters of right field, his speed and range in the outfield would make the trio of himself, Starling Marte, and Andrew McCutchen track down every fly ball.
Just how bad is the Pittsburgh Pirates’ defense?
