Fantasy baseball team previews: Pittsburgh Pirates

Outfielder Andrew McCutchen is without a doubt a fantasy star and will be drafted in the first rounds.

Charlie Morton, SP -- Morton had a 3.26 ERA and 3.60 FIP in 116 innings with the Pirates last year. He'll start the year in the rotation slotted behind Liriano and Cole, and while he doesn't offer a ton of strikeout upside, he doesn't walk very many batters or give up a ton of home runs. That should allow him to keep his rates in check, making him a decent backend rotation guy for NL-only owners.
