FORT MYERS, Fla. -- All the competition talk this spring, especially with the outfield, inspired the question.
There's playing time to be won in the Pirates' outfield, even with Bryan Reynolds, Andrew McCutchen and Jack Suwinski -- one of the team's more pleasant surprises last year -- in the mix. The team has made that incredibly apparent. They also have a couple of outfielders who have been terrific this spring in Canaan Smith-Njigba and Travis Swaggerty. Both would pick up RBIs in the Pirates' 7-5 win over the Red Sox at JetBlue Park Monday, and Smith-Njigba would end up getting three hits on the afternoon.
