As we enter our second week of Spring Training, the guy who keeps the seat warm for prospect Ke’Bryan Hayes could still be up for grabs for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Right now, Colin Moran is penciled in as the Opening Day Starter, but he hasn’t done anything to really deserve that position. If anything, Jose Osuna deserves the hot corner until Hayes reaches the majors.
Moran has easily been one of, if not the worst third baseman in baseball in the past 2 seasons. His .6 fWAR between ‘18-’19 ranks 27th of 28th among third basemen with at least 800 plate appearances.
