Pirates | Could open season with eight relievers on roster

The Pittsburgh Pirates may decide to open the regular season with eight relievers in their bullpen as a result of SP Charlie Morton (hip) being on the disabled list. RPs Joel Hanrahan, Jason Grilli and Chris Resop appear to be locks to make the team, with RPs Tony Watson, Evan Meek and Juan Cruz also having good chances of being on the 25-man roster. RPs Daniel Moskos, Jared Hughes and Chris Leroux are also in the hunt for a spot in the bullpen, although Leroux is out of minor league options.
