While the Pirates will certainly miss the versatility JaredTriolo can provide from a defensive perspective, DonKelly said he feels like they're in a good spot in terms of having guys capable of contributing at multiple positions.
"Obviously, we're gonna miss Tri and hope that he's back soon, just what he means to the team; versatility, Gold Glove defense, came on strong with the bat last year. In the last game that he played, he had a couple knocks, and he was starting to get it going," Kelly said. "Obviously, would love to have him back when he's ready. But to have (Nick) Yorke that can bounce around. NickGonzales can bounce around. (Ryan) O'Hearn can play outfield, first base. SpencerHorwitz can play first or second. BillyCook can play outfield, first base. We feel really good about where we're at with versatility and guys that we can use off the bench too."
