Pittsburgh Pirates: Kevin Kramer Should Be Promoted
The Pittsburgh Pirates should take advantage of when rosters expand this September. The move they should make is to call up a potential second baseman.
If you look at the current standings, the Pittsburgh Pirates are done in terms of the playoff hunt. The team is currently closer to last place than they are first place, being 13.5 games back of the Cubs and sitting in fourth place overall.
Meanwhile, in terms of the Wild Card standings, the Bucs are 8.5 games back of the Milwaukee Brewers for the second Wild Card spot. Also, the team would have to jump six teams, including the Brewers, to get into the second spot. This is going to be very hard to do with just one month of play left.
