Please, please, please, put Osuna in the line-up and Polanco on the bench.

Nice career ERA, doesn't strike out a lot of guys but, more importantly, walks about half as many. He probably becomes the ace of the staff. Even when saying that fast it doesn't sound good.

Pitched 3 MLB games since 2015. 0 since 2017.

Has has shoulder and elbow issues. He'll fit right in.

I was trying my best to be positive. Reality bites for us Pirates fans.

Can Osuna pitch?

Probably at least as well as the guys on the staff.

Actually, yes. He was used twice as a pitcher last year and had an ERA of 3.86. That would make him their ace.

I hope for our sake that he's closer to Rickey Henderson than he is to Pedro Alvarez.
