EDGE Analysis

The long-time Giant will head east to join the Pirates on a one-year deal and compete for a spot in the back of the Pittsburgh rotation. Vogelsong struggled as a starter in 2015, compiling a 4.50 ERA with a 1.80 K:BB ratio over 116 innings of work. That said, Vogelsong is just one year removed from a strong season in which he had a 3.85 FIP and 2.60 K:BB.
