Josh Bell is probably more protected than any other Pirates prospect because they have no 1B option when Alvarez leaves for Free Agency (or anyone who will take him in a trade). They have no need for any OF players, especially since Josh Harrison plays 3B/2B/OF, and when he's healthy, he will more than likely take Polanco's spot when he's not spelling Ramirez at 3B. Pirates do not need Gomez
