Spring training is here for the Pittsburgh Pirates!

This is my first look into the 2016 Bucs, and I thought we’d start with something that’ll get us revved up for some Pirates baseball.

It’s been a crazy offseason, and while it’s easy to criticize the Pirates’ management for this issues they haven’t addressed, let’s just thank the baseball gods for this young core of outfielders, all of whom are signed through next season.

Needless to say, this is primarily an offensive outlook. All three of these guys are excellent defenders.
