The Pirates Don’t Have Many Position Battles Heading Into Spring Training
If Jung-ho Kang is ready by Opening Day, that would be one less position battle for the Pirates to worry about.

By this point last year, they were done adding to their team. Looking at the roster this year, it's hard to see them adding more than bench or bullpen depth, since the roster looks pretty set. This doesn't mean they shouldn't add more. I've written that having Ryan Vogelsong in the rotation is a problem, and they should look for an upgrade. But the Pirates seem to be set with him as their fifth starter.
