On their weekly Pirates mailbag video, Post-Gazette insiders Noah Hiles and Andrew Destin answer reader questions from spring training in Bradenton, Fla.

Are there any prime candidates for a contract extension this spring, given that the Pirates have handed one out to a key piece in each of the last three years? With Matt Gorski producing well during spring training, could we see him lock up a spot on the opening day roster? What does the future hold for fringe infield prospects like Ji Hwan Bae and Liover Peguero? What about stalwart backup catcher Jason Delay? Will new hitting coach Matt Hague focus more on small ball due to the Pirates lineup's lack of major power hitters? And with the return of Daniel Vogelbach, which other former Pirate would Noah and Andrew like to see return in a special adviser's role? Our duo answers those questions and more.
