Pirates have no need to add. They are young and most of their roster is improving with experience. Their pitching staff will be as good and they are loaded on the farm. If they need a hitter or two before the deadline, they are in the best position to get the pick of the litter.

The Reds and Cardinals will be tough, but the Pirates are young, talented and seasoned as they've now proven they can win consistently in the stretch run.

The Phillies picked up Burnett, who wouldn't have been a frontline starter for the Bucs.
