Pirates Opening Day Roster Predictions 2.0 (+)

Two weeks from Thursday, the Pittsburgh Pirates will play their first regular season game when they take on the Marlins in Miami on Opening Day.

The Pirates are 10-8 so far on the spring, good for second place in the Grapefruit League behind only the 11-6 Toronto Blue Jays. No, spring training standings don’t matter, but certain players performing well is a reason the Pirates have so far been successful.

With two more weeks to go before all decisions are to be made, here’s how I see the Pirates 26-man roster shaping up.
