Pittsburgh Pirates Suites

The Pittsburgh Pirates have reached the postseason in three straight seasons and will look to make it four in 2016. The Pirates have had recent success but haven’t won a playoff series in over 26 seasons. During the offseason, they made some good additions but also lost some fan favorites in Neil Walker and Pedro Alvarez.

Joining the Pirates in 2016 is John Jaso, Jon Niese Ryan Vogelsong, and David Freese. Niese will step into the rotation right away as a solid middle of the rotation starter. Freese and Jaso will become utility players unless injuries put them in an everyday role. The leader of this team is former MVP, Andrew McCutchen. McCuthchen is one of the best all-around players in the game. Outfielder Starlin Marte is following in McCutchen’s footsteps as he’s become a threat on the bases and with the bat. Marte had a career year in 2015. Gregory Polanco will be in the outfield with Marte and McCutchen. Polanco had a big second half of the season a year ago and will look to continue to bring power and speed to this lineup. Josh Harrison will look to get his swing back in 2016 after a down year in 2015. Jordy Mercer will start the year as shortstop at least until Jung-Ho Kang recovers from his broken leg that he suffered last season.

The Pirates pitching rotation is led by their ace, Gerrit Cole. Cole won 19 games last season and had a 2.60 ERA. Now in his fourth season, Cole is considered as one of the league’s best pitchers. Francisco Liriano will be the team’s number two starter followed by Niese, Vogelsong and Jeff Locke. Mark Melancon will be the team’s closer. Melancon led the league in saves in 2015 with 51.

PNC Park is considered one of the best venues in baseball for the amazing views and fan experience.

After two consecutive seasons of reaching the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Pirates are a young squad ready to make it three years straight. The 2014 Pirates reached the NL Wild Card but ended up losing the one-game playoff to the San Francisco Giants. The 2015 Pirates made some changes to the roster this season including the additions of A.J. Burnett, Corey Hart and Jung-ho Kang. The Pirates lost Russell Martin and Edinson Volquez. The lineup will start with Josh Harrison who emerged as one of the best hitters in all of baseball last year. Harrison finished last season with .315 batting average, second in the National League. The Pirates’ superstar Andrew McCutchen will look to make it 5 straight years of being named an All-Star. McCutchen has at least 20 home runs and 80 RBI in each of those four years. The Pirates called up a future star last year in the name of Gregory Polanco. Polanco struggled a bit with striking out but the Pirates have high hopes that Polanco will establish himself as a power threat in their lineup. Starling Marte enters his third season on the Pirates and in each year his numbers having trended in the right direction. Marte, like Polanco is a player the Pirates hope will be in their lineup for years to come. The rest of the Pirates’ lineup with include Neil Walker, Pedro Alvarez, Jody Mercer and Francisco Cervelli. The Pirates’ pitching rotation will start with Francisco Liriano. Liriano was a strike out machine last year for the Pirates. Following Liriano will be A.J. Burnett, Gerrit Cole, Jeff Locke and Charlie Morton. Cole could emerge as the number one started at some point this season. The bullpen will be anchored by closer Mark Melancon.
