Two fewer than usual. For subscribers, you can also look at individual projections. BP thinks the offense will be (sort of) competent, but not so much for the pitching/defense. It also thinks it's a bit early to give up on Craig Hansen and that Andy LaRoche will be downright serviceable. Oh, and it has Jeff Salazar hitting .260/.355/.469, which would make him the Pirates' second-best outfielder.
