Last year, Kevin Newman was a crucial part to the Pittsburgh Pirates’ formula. Given his production, he figured to play into the future of the organization. Under ordinary circumstances, we would’ve been halfway through a season and would likely have a pretty good idea about the kind of year Newman was going to end up having.
