Summary

Alex Stumpf breaks down the Pirates’ suddenly interesting third base decision, where Nick Gonzales’ bat has earned him real playing time but Jared Triolo’s Gold Glove defense still carries major value. With the Pirates trying to protect a young pitching staff and clean up defensive issues elsewhere, the question becomes whether third base should belong to Gonzales, Triolo, or some version of a split.
