OSFM 2016: Pittsburgh Pirates

[tree3five]

This is just a very early guess, I know that the rosters will not end up looking like this, but it gives us an idea of who/how many players need created/updated. If there is a potential in parenthesis that means its a created player. Some potentials are based off of last year, so let me know if you feel someone needs to be higher or lower. Thanks to Bacon96 for helping with a few CAPs.

Looks good Tree! I honestly don't know if i would change a thing, well maybe a little bump for McGuire (A-), Newman (B or B+), and Moroff (B, maybe because i did his face last year haha) but that is just the homer in me. Those potentials look pretty spot on though. I am curious if they still kept the 0-99 scale or if they went purely to the 20-80 scale? Looking forward to another year with the buccos on the show.

Pirates traded RP Yoervis Medina to Phillies for SP Jesse Biddle. Biddle will be out for all of 2016, he had TJ surgery. I updated the first page.

Eventhough he's out for the year Biddle is on the Pirates 40 man roster. Also, Hunter Morris! Did the Pirates re-sign him or is he still a Free Agent?

Pirates traded for Hunter Morris last April because they didn't have much depth at 1B in the minors. As far as I know he is still in the system and won't be a free agent until after 2016. However there is really no room for him anymore, so I am not sure what the future holds for him.

They released him in October.
