As manager Clint Hurdle and his staff assemble the most overlooked yet one of the most critical areas of any team, it is pretty clear what they will want to see on the Pirates' bench: Players who collectively perform better than last season, but who don't have to do it as often.

Translation: In 2011, the Pirates got a .206 average with only three homers off their bench, but many of the same players were pressed into regular duty by injuries. As a result, 14 different Pittsburgh players had 200-plus plate appearances -- while only two reached 500.
