26 spots. 13 pitchers. 13 position players. 11 days from now.
That is the Pirates’ task, to whittle down the group of players currently in camp to a roster that makes sense. While it is just the roster on one day of the season, and the choices made assembling it don’t often carry any finality to them, it’s still fun to guess at.

Position players
Catchers
- Henry Davis R
- Jason Delay R
At this juncture, the Pirates can’t possibly deny Davis.
