Colin Moran embraces opportunity to compete for starting job with Pirates

Posted Feb 13, 2018
Josh Bell got a glimpse of Pirates new third baseman Colin Moran, and he made a positive first impression. “From what I've seen last couple days hitting, it's really fine-tuned. He knows what he's doing,” Bell said of Moran's swing. The Pirates are banking on Moran, a nephew of B.J. Surhoff, to provide pop to their batting order and stability at the hot corner.
