BRADENTON, Fla. -- Jose Osuna has spent less than a year working at third base, and there's more work to be done. He possesses a strong outfield arm, but his range is limited. What about first base? No questions there, as Osuna showed in the Pirates' 11-8 win over the Twins at LECOM Park on Monday.
"He's our best defensive first baseman," manager Clint Hurdle said. "If you don't know that, it just means you haven't got to watch him a lot throughout our Minor League system. Everybody raves about his defense at first base.
