How will things shake out at shortstop? Could the Pittsburgh Pirates still look for a power bat? And more in this week’s Pirate mailbag.
Thank you to everyone who submitted questions this week and participated. Now, let’s dive in!
Who do you think the opening day shortstop will be? Are they in the organization or will it be an outside signing?

All offseason long I have expected the Opening Day shortstop to be someone not currently in the Pirate organization. However, the start of Spring Training is just two weeks away and it is looking less likely the Pirates will address the position.
