Last week, we took a look at various bullpen options for the Pittsburgh Pirates as Spring Training 2019 begins. Now, we will take a similar look at the Bucco bench.
The Pirates have the ingredients to have a strong bench in 2019. This will be especially true when Gregory Polanco returns from the injured list and bumps Lonnie Chisenhall to a bench role. Due to Polanco missing the start of the regular season, the Pirate bench could look much different on Opening Day from what fans will see for the majority of the 2019 season.
So, what will the Pirate bench look like on Opening Day and who is in contention to earn a spot on the roster?
