As can be said too often, this is not a great Pirates team. It’s far from the worst though, and there is certainly value to be found, not to mention a big hitter or two.
My favorite card on this team is Francisco Cervelli, a 10 On Base catcher with C+8 defense for just 270 points. He’s an early draft pick for sure. Jung Ho Kang is certain to get some attention too. He’s just 8 OB, but his chart has just two outs and lots of power, and he’s a plus defender at 3B. Other infielders provide good defense as well, and Cervelli is not the only budget, high on base card. Gregory Polanco is one of those fun cards with a chart that includes every possible batter outcome.
The pitching isn’t strong either, but there is value here too. Mark Melancon is one of the best closers in the set, with his tier-2, no-doubles card. A solid rookie Pennant Run pitcher will add to the rotation’s potency. Stay tuned!
Craziest Chart: Neftali Feliz – I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a pitcher’s chart with just a 19 walk and 20 homer.
Foils: Starling Marte, Mark Melancon
