Pirates counting on Colin Moran at 3rd base

Posted Feb 22, 2018
Colin Moran casts a striking figure at 6-foot-4 and with a full, red beard, and the Pirates are counting on him to go from centerpiece to cornerstone. The Bucs are banking on Moran, a key piece to the Gerrit Cole trade, being the answer at third base and a left-handed bat who can pound balls over PNC Park's short right-field porch. Moran has made a positive first impression. (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)
