It was kinda fun watching Deitrich get under the Pirates skin last year and he is kind of an entertaining guy to have around but not that good of a ballplayer. There is no room for him in left field and he probably wouldn't get many opportunities at second or third base here either. I think we end up having to keep Blandino or one of the other guys over him for shortstop depth.
That may depend on Suarez's shoulder.

It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out as they choose who to keep between those utility types on the back end of the roster. I think Farmer is almost a lock with his versatility and then you have guys like Van Meter and DD as well as any youngsters who make a push this spring. I think we also need to keep an eye on Senzel's recovery. If he has a setback that opens the door for others even more.
