Here's ESPN's Power Rankings:
30. Pittsburgh Pirates
Pirates starters pitched to a National League-worst 5.53 ERA last year, and with a projected staff of Jose Quintana, JT Brubaker, Zach Thompson, Bryse Wilson and Mitch Keller, it's hard to see how things will get better. At least the trio of Bryan Reynolds, Ke'Bryan Hayes and rookie Oneil Cruz will be fun to watch.
29. Baltimore Orioles
Much like the Pirates, the Orioles have some exciting young position-player talent, led by breakout star Cedric Mullins and rising top prospect Adley Rutschman. But they sorely lack quality pitching. Veteran Jordan Lyles, who had a 5.15 ERA in 180 innings last year, has been the only notable addition to a pitching staff that was baseball's worst with a 5.84 ERA.
