PITTSBURGH - The most difficult thing about writing up the minor league season previews last week was trying to figure out what the Pirates would be doing with all of their infield options this season.
They opted to promote Kevin Kramer to Indianapolis, despite also sending down Max Moroff and Jose Osuna from Pittsburgh. Osuna would be playing third base, which combined with Kramer on the team, left little room for Moroff. Add in guys like Chris Bostick, Erich Weiss, and Eric Wood, and there was definitely a roster crunch.
"The position player group is the deepest we’ve had (in Indy)," Pirates' General Manager Neal Huntington said to reporters on Sunday, including our Matt Gajtka.
