3B:  Ke’Bryan Hayes, Tucupita Marcano

. . . and . . .

1B:  Malcom Nunez
2B:  Nick Gonzales, Termarr Johnson
SS:  Liover Peguero, Andres Alvarez
3B:  Jared Triolo, Drew Maggi

Having followed the Pirates fanatically since 1965, Wilbur Miller is one of the fast-dwindling number of fans who’ve actually seen good Pirate teams. He’s even seen Hall-of-Fame Pirates who didn’t get traded mid-career, if you can imagine such a thing. His first in-person game was a 5-4, 11-inning win at Forbes Field over Milwaukee (no, not that one). He’s been writing about the Pirates at various locations online for over 20 years. It has its frustrations, but it’s certainly more cathartic than writing legal stuff. Wilbur is retired and now lives in Bradenton with his wife and three temperamental cats.
