The Pittsburgh Pirates could use a platon first baseman for Colin Moran and C.J. Cron could provide power from the right side of the plate.

Last season, the Pittsburgh Pirates used a tandem of Josh Bell and Colin Moran at first base and designated hitter. Offensively, Moran had a career best year while Bell put up yet another inconsistent season.
