No surprise there. The Pirates will look for right-handed help on the free agent market, and although they're not terribly likely to find anyone better than Brian Meadows and Rick White were this year, they'll probably get them cheaper. They'll build their new bullpen around Mike Gonzalez and Salomon Torres. Ryan Vogelsong and John Grabow will take two spots, and Ian Snell looks likely to break camp in the bullpen also.
