I’m assuming that Craig Hansen, Jimmy Barthmaier, Neal Cotts, Tyler Yates, and Wilfredo Ledezma are also on the team, but injured, as each player entered Spring Training with an existing injury.
No word on Jason Cooper, Justin Thomas, or Kevin Melillo. They weren’t listed on the rosters, and it hasn’t been reported that they’ve been released. It would seem strange that Thomas would be released. The Pirates claimed him after the 2009 season, then snuck him through waivers when the 40-man rosters were being set in November. I’m guessing Thomas is injured.
