PITTSBURGH -- Without Jung Ho Kang available, David Freese is the Pirates' regular third baseman. But exactly how often he starts there may be determined by how frequently manager Clint Hurdle chooses to play super-utility man Adam Frazier.
Josh Harrison's versatility gives Hurdle some flexibility in writing out the Pirates' infield each day. If Hurdle wants to start Frazier, he can do so at second base, moving Harrison to third base. If Freese is starting at third, Harrison can stay put at second base. While Freese and Harrison will start more often than not, it's essentially a three-man rotation for two spots.
