Position of Greatest Need for 2020 and the future

Is there an "all of the above" option?
The Pirates desperately need starting pitching. The problem is that is the toughest thing to find. They probably need to overpay for a number 2 to be their one. They just won't ever pay for a real number 1. Then they need to scout and trade for a couple of guys who have potential. Then they need to go to the scrap heap and hope they can find gold again. Then they need to pray that this works. The rest of the team is OK but the pitching is the kind of staff that can allow you to lose 30 of 38 games. They need more guys that give you a chance to win nearly every night.
They need to use Felipe to get a legit starter. Throw in someone else to get that done but they need a legit starter. Run Keller out every 5 days to see if he can work it out but they NEED a couple of legit starters and hope that they can get lucky on others.
