Post-Gazette Pirates beat writer Noah Hiles recaps his chat with manager Derek Shelton on Sunday as well an a spring training win against the New York Yankees in Tampa, Fla.

Why isn't Shelton prepared to name a closer? And why isn't David Bednar the default choice for that role after holding the job for most of the last few years? How is Henry Davis looking defensively behind the plate as he competes for time alongside names like Endy Rodriguez and Joey Bart? And how is the competition for left-handed relievers going as the bullpen begins to take shape? Noah tackles those questions and more.
