Pirates – 100.1 FM/KDKA-AM 1020

Probable Starters:
Ricky Tiedemann (0-0, 7.36) vs. Bailey Falter (0-1, 8.03)

Bailey Falter looks to prove his worth to the Pirates in his last start of the Spring today in Bradenton. He will go up against Tiedemann of Toronto who is likely headed to AAA to start the season. Also expected to pitch for the Pirates today will be Luis Ortiz, Ryan Borucki, David Bednar, Jose Hernandez, Roansy Contreras and Josh Fleming.

On the offensive side Derek Shelton is playing what could very well be his Opening Day lineup, minus at the Catcher position. The only potential changes would be Bryan Reynolds in RF, Andrew McCutchen at DH and Henry Davis at Catcher. The ability for Shelton to stagger Right-Handed, Left-Handed or Switch hitters will be a benefit for the Pirates this season. Pirate to watch today with be Michael A. Taylor as he gets his first start for his new club.
