I would rather go after a position like third base, I have no confidence in Josh harrison as a backup……although it might be a good idea to move Hague or mercer to third.

Another great job on the upcoming rule 5 decisions. With all of this depth in the minors and majors, do you see the Pirates actively pursuing another rule 5 pick next year? If you do, what positions might they be considering?
As I look at the roster today, I see depth at every position except for a few – Left handed pitching, 1st base options. As you mentioned it’s unlikely to see any value at first base, so other than a loogy, is there any reason to make a pick?
