BRADENTON, Fla. -- Felipe Rivero sits in the back corner of the Pirates' clubhouse at LECOM Park. It's a good spot for him to set up his laptop and portable mixing board, which provides the soundtrack for some early Spring Training mornings. It's also an ideal vantage point to scan the rest of the room.
Earlier this week, Rivero looked around the clubhouse and took stock of what he saw. He motioned toward another wall of lockers, nodding as he listed off the names above each one. Gregory Polanco. Starling Marte. Josh Bell.
