Pittsburgh Pirates Mailbag: April 17, 2018

It is time for the weekly Pittsburgh Pirates mailbag here at Rum Bunter.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are off to a great start in 2018 with an 11-5 record, which puts them in first place in the National League Central Division.

Is Polancoâs recent mini-slump cause for concern compared to how he came out the gate hitting for power and with good plate discipline?

Polanco is making hard contact a healthy, and career-high, 37.5 percent of the time this season.
