P2Daily: Piecing Together the Short-Term

After dithering around with deadenders for the first month or so of the season, the Pirates are finally starting to provide a bit of a look, just a bit, at some players who might actually be pieces of the puzzle going forward. Most notably, Jack Suwinski — an actual outfielder of all things — has played well enough to forestall any decision to send him back to the minors. In fact, going into the second game of the Cincinnati series, his 107 OPS+ and 0.7 bWAR both ranked fifth on the team among players with at least 15 plate appearances.
