Where Could Erik Gonzalez Fit In With The 2019 Pittsburgh Pirates?

On Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Pirates swung a five-player trade with the Cleveland Indians. This was the first trade of the offseason for general manager Neal Huntington and the Pirates. You can read the full details on that trade here.

By sending infielder Max Moroff and outfielder Jordan Luplow to the Indians, the Pirates received a pair of pitching prospects in return. However, the Bucs also received utility infielder Erik Gonzalez. This raises the question, where does Gonzalez fit with the Pirates in 2019?

Gonzalez is the perfect definition of a super utility player.
