As a handful of position players went through fielding drills and others took batting practice indoors, Wil Crowe and Mitch Keller talked like two Pirates fans at a corner bar around happy hour on Monday. While stretching and throwing in left field, Crowe and Keller began discussing the upcoming offseason, specifically which players they hoped the Pirates might add.
"We were just talking about who might be a good fit," Keller said. "I don't know if we'll do it or not, but signing some guys would be awesome."
What Crowe and Keller were discussing should be seen as more than harmless catch-play banter. The Pirates obviously need to acquire some better players this winter, but the primary target should be this group — pitching.
