KEY GAME INFORMATION
PITTSBURGH: 2016: 78-83, third place
Manager: Clint Hurdle (seventh season)
Who's new? RHP Daniel Hudson, IF Phil Gosselin
Who's gone? IF Sean Rodriguez, OF Matt Joyce, SP Jeff Locke, SP Ryan Vogelsong, RP Neftali Feliz, C Eric Fryer
Projected lineup: 2B Josh Harrison (.283, 4 HR, 59 RBI, 19 SB), 1B Josh Bell (.273, 3, 19), RF Andrew McCutchen (.256, 24, 79), CF Starling Marte (.311, 9, 46, 47 SB), LF Gregory Polanco (.258, 22, 86), 3B Jung-ho Kang (.255, 21, 62), C Francisco Cervelli (.264, 1, 33), SS Jordy Mercer (.256, 11, 59)
Rotation: RH Gerrit Cole (7-10, 3.88 ERA), RH Ivan Nova (12-8, 4.17 for Yankees and Pirates), RH Jameson Taillon (5-4, 3.38), RH Chad Kuhl (5-4, 4.20), RH Drew Hutchison (1-0, 5.25 with Blue Jays and Pirates) or Steven Brault (0-3, 4.86) or Trevor Williams (1-1, 7.82) or Tyler Glasnow (0-2, 4.24)
Key relievers: LH Tony Watson (2-5, 3.06, 15/20 SV), RH Daniel Hudson (3-2, 5.22 with Diamondbacks), LH Felipe Rivero (1-6, 4.09 for Nationals and Pirates), RH Juan Nicasio (10-7, 4.50), LH Antonio Bastardo (3-0, 4.52 with Mets and Pirates), RH Jared Hughes (1-1, 3.03), LH Wade LeBlanc (4-0, 3.77 with Mariners and Pirates)
Hot spots: Rotation and closer. Right-hander Glasnow, 23, is a consensus top-25 prospect who made his major league debut last year. The Pirates would love to see him seize the fifth starter's job in camp, but right-hander Hutchison offers a more experienced option if Glasnow isn't ready. Watson became the closer after Mark Melancon was traded to Washington last summer, but his sinker/slider/changeup mix isn't typical ninth-inning stuff. Keep an eye on Rivero, a 25-year-old lefty acquired in the Melancon trade. His fastball actually gained velocity as last season wore on, eventually touching triple digits. Rivero might begin the season as the set-up man but his ascension to the ninth inning seems inevitable.
Outlook: The Pirates made some interesting tweaks after missing the playoffs for the first time in four years. They made no major trades, signed only two major league free agents (pitchers Nova and Hudson) and revamped Hurdle's coaching staff. They also moved their outfielders around: McCutchen goes from center to right, Marte from left to center, and Polanco from right to left. McCutchen is coming off the worst season of his career. So is ace right-hander Cole. The path back to the playoffs begins with the two stars bouncing back. If the team's other homegrown talent ' Taillon, Glasnow, Bell and Polanco ' continue their evolution, Pittsburgh should return to the postseason in 2017.
MIAMI: 2016: 79-82, third place
Manager: Don Mattingly (second season)
Who's new? C A.J. Ellis, RHP Edinson Volquez, RHP Dan Straily, RHP Brad Ziegler, RHP Junichi Tazawa, LHP Jeff Locke
Who's gone? C Jeff Mathis, INF Chris Johnson, RHP Andrew Cashner, LHP Mike Dunn, RHP Fernando Rodney
Projected lineup: SS Dee Gordon (.268, 1 HR, 14 RBI, 30 SB in 79 games), 3B Martin Prado (.305, 8, 75), CF Christian Yelich (.298, 21, 98), RF Giancarlo Stanton (.240, 27, 74 in 119 games), LF Marcell Ozuna (.266, 23, 76), 1B Justin Bour (.264, 15, 51), C J.T. Realmuto (.303, 11, 48, 12 SB), SS Adeiny Hechavarria (.236, 3, 38)
Rotation: LH Wei-Yin Chen (5-5, 4.96), RH Edinson Volquez (10-11, 5.37 with Royals), LH Adam Conley (8-6, 3.85), RH Dan Straily (14-8, 3.76 with Reds), RH Tom Koehler (9-13, 4.33)
Key relievers: RH A.J. Ramos (1-4, 2.81 40/43 SV), RH Brad Ziegler (2-3, 2.28, 18/20 SV with Diamondbacks), RH Junichi Tazawa (3-2, 4.17 with Red Sox), RH Kyle Barraclough (6-3, 2.85), RH David Phelps (7-6, 2.28), RH Dustin McGowan (1-3, 2.82)
Hot spots: Middle infield. Gordon and Hechavarria were a throwback double-play combo in 2016: strong defense up the middle, light with the bats. That would be OK in some lineups, but only three MLB teams scored fewer runs per game last season than Miami. Derek Dietrich was a more than capable fill-in during Gordon's PED suspension, posting a .374 on-base percentage. How long can Mattingly keep Dietrich on the bench if Gordon and Hechavarria struggle to hit?
Outlook: There are many recent examples of teams taking the 'stars and scrubs' approach to roster construction. It never ends well. The Marlins lost their brightest star when ace right-hander Jose Fernandez died far too young; replacing his production and presence was impossible. The remaining stars come with major question marks. Can Stanton stay healthy? If not, can Yelich and Bour be the pillars of the lineup? Who's the star of this pitching staff? No team managed by Mattingly has lost more than 82 games in a season. That will change in 2017.
PREVIEW
Marlins host Pirates in series finale
 

MIAMI -- The finale of this weekend's Pittsburgh Pirates-Miami Marlins series won't offer a pitching matchup worthy of a marquee.

But perhaps the Pirates' vaunted rookie class of 2017 can spice things up before these teams part ways.

The Pirates start right-hander Chad Kuhl, a 24-year-old who is 6-6 with a 4.72 ERA in his two-year major league career. He is 1-2 with a 6.63 ERA this season.

The Marlins start right-hander Tom Koehler, a 30-year-old who is very reliable in his mediocrity, posting a career record of 36-49 with a 4.19 ERA. He is 1-1 this season with a 5.14 ERA and has averaged 10 wins in each of his past three years.

Kuhl didn't make it through the second inning in his most recent start, allowing eight hits, four walks and nine runs in a loss to the Chicago Cubs.

"I wasn't really good today," Kuhl told the media in a bit of an understatement. "I tried my best to extend the outing as long as possible."

Koehler, in contrast to Kuhl, won his most recent start, pitching six innings and allowing three runs against the host San Diego Padres.

"He was able to keep battling, which is what he does," Marlins manager Don Mattingly said of Koehler. "It didn't look like he had his good stuff (against San Diego). He missed some spots with his location. But he fought hard."

The Pirates, who ranked 27th in the majors in runs scored and 28th in homers entering Saturday, can certainly use a boost. Miami ranked a bit below average offensively: 18th in runs scored and 16th in homers.

Defensively, the Pirates are 26th in the majors in most errors committed while Miami is second in that category.

Pittsburgh has the edge with its pitching staff, ranking 10th with a 3.90 ERA. Miami is 23rd with a 4.34 ERA. Pittsburgh is tied for third in the majors in the number of quality starts. Meanwhile, there is only one team in the majors, the Tampa Bay Rays, who have fewer quality starts than the seven produced by Miami.

Four Pirates rookie hitters are making an impact, including starting first baseman Josh Bell, a switch hitter with power.

Bell, drafted in the second round out of a Texas high school in 2011, made his big-league debut last year, producing a .775 OPS. Now, the job at first base is his. He is below average defensively, but his bat is why he's in the majors.

But the Pirates rookie class is more than just Bell.

Because of the 80-game suspension given to 2016 All-Star and Gold Glove winner Starling Marte -- who is ineligible to play until July 17 -- the Pirates are starting rookie Jose Osuna in right.

In addition, rookie second baseman Gift Ngoepe made his first big-league start Friday, going 3-for-3.

And in Friday's game, Ngoepe and the Pirates' fourth rookie hitter, Alen Hanson, hit back-to-back triples.

"Gift and Alen give us a lot of speed," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.

Ngoepe and Osuna have made the longest journeys to the majors among these four Pirates.

The 27-year-old Ngoepe this week became the first native of an African nation to make the majors after originally signing in 2008. Osuna, a native of Venezuela, is only 25, but signed his first pro contract eight years ago in 2009.

Osuna was a pitcher initially, but showed a power bat and is now a first baseman/right fielder with a strong arm.

Hanson, a native of the Dominican Republic who was one of baseball's top-100 prospects as recently as 2014, has seen his stock as a middle infielder drop somewhat since then. He's a switch-hitter with excellent speed.
