Pittsburgh Pirates Mailbag: January 9th, 2019

What would the lineup look like if Opening Day were today? Will we see Mitch Keller before the All-Star Break? And more in this week’s Pittsburgh Pirates mailbag!

As always, thank you to everyone who submitted questions to the mailbag and participating this week. Now, let’s dive in!

What is the starting line up on opening day in your mind right now?

If the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds were playing their season opener today this would be my guess for the starting lineup:

  1. Starling Marte – CF
  2. Corey Dickerson – LF
  3. Francisco Cervelli – C
  4. Lonnie Chisenhall – RF
  5. Erik Gonzalez – SS
  6. Jameson Taillon – SP

This is assuming Alex Wood starts for the Reds on Opening Day.
