Could Nefi Ogando Be A Bullpen Option For The 2017 Pirates?

A Major League bullpen can never have too many power arms. In an under-the-radar move the Pittsburgh Pirates added an arm like this back on December 23rd. This arm is right-handed reliever Nefi Ogando.

The 27-year old Ogando was claimed off waivers from the Marlins on December 23rd. Due to this he now has a spot on the Pirates 40-man roster. Additionally, he is out of Minor League options and will have to be designated for assignment if he does not make the team out of Spring Training.

The fact Ogando is out of options could work into his favor.
