There was plenty of competition this Spring for the Pittsburgh Pirates and their players, and with any competition there are always winners and losers. As Opening Day approaches, there are still a lot of question marks that the Pirates will need to answer in-season with how they play the game. Who will be the fifth starting pitcher? Will Jung ho Kang return to form? What will the bench look like? Who’s in the bullpen?
These were the same questions being asked in October as the Pirates watched the post-season once again from the comfort of their couches.
