The Pirates could enter the season with Jeff Clement at first base.
That's a scary proposition because Clement has never played first in the majors and rarely did in the minors.
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, even when assigned to Instructional League in October to get extra work at first, he was limited to off-field rehabilitation because of a strained oblique.
"From our brief look at Jeff in August, we need to give him a foundation and get him acclimated over there," director of player development Kyle Stark said.
