Predicting the Pirates’ Opening Day lineup

With the lull in news, due to Major League Baseball owners acting like spoiled brats and not wanting to cooperate with the MLBPA, fans everywhere are playing pretend and coming up with scenarios for their favorite teams in case there is a 2022 season.

One way they show this is by creating potential lineups and Opening Day pitchers, and this article is no exception.

Considering I’ve aired my grievances regarding Derek Shelton’s lineups in the past, I figured now is a good time to come up with a lineup that makes sense on Opening Day for the Pirates, with a starting rotation, closer and bench added in the mix.
