Three thoughts as Pirates' begin to make final cuts

NORTH PORT, Fla. -- And then there were fewer.

The Pirates announced two more roster cuts after their 8-1 loss to the Braves at CoolToday Park Sunday, reassigning outfielder Miguel Andújar and left-handed pitcher Angel Pedromo to minor-league camp. That means there are 36 players left in camp, but that number will decrease when Kevin Plawecki opts out of his minor-league deal, Chris Owings is reassigned to the minors and Jarlín García and most likely Robert Stephenson start the year on the injured list. In all likelihood, the Pirates likely only have six more roster cuts to make before opening day Thursday.
