What does Starling Marte’s suspension mean for the Pirates?

First, it means they just got a whole heckuva lot worse. Marte has been consistently worth about 5 wins a season. It also means that Andrew McCutcheon probably just got a lot worse, too, as he’ll be shifting back to CF where he was, by all accounts, an atrocious defender last season. Lastly, it means there’s going to be a cry from the fans to call up top outfield prospect Austin Meadows, but it doesn’t look like that’ll happen either.
