Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Jason Mackey and Colin Beazley report from spring training in Bradenton, Fla., and examine a couple of newcomers in Jake Mangum and Jose Urquidy.
How has Mangum been able to make a strong first impression since arriving from the Tampa Bay Rays with teammate Brandon Lowe? What's his role? Will he be able to find a spot in the outfield amongst Oneil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds and Ryan O'Hearn?
How did Urquidy look in his Pirates debut? Does his experience give him a leg up in the battle for the fifth spot in the starting rotation alongside Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller? Or does a younger pitcher like Carmen Mlodzinski or Hunter Barco have a better shot? Our duo tackles those topics, then discusses former Pirates manager Derek Shelton appearing in the opposing dugout on Thursday.
