This is Jennifer’s all-time Pittsburgh Pirates team. Do you agree with these choices or not. Let us know who you think either does or doesn’t belong on this team.
Where’s Ralph Kiner?
This one was very hard for me. Certainly Kiner’s power would help the Pirates considerably. The problem then lies with Stargell already playing LF. I could have my LF both be Kiner and Stargell but I felt they were too similar and I can only start 1. I could play Kiner at DH, but then what do you do with Paul Waner? Waner is too good to keep on the bench.
