It always seems that the Pirates have quite a few position players show up early for spring training. As far back as I can remember, there was always a group of guys that seemed to show up with the pitchers and catchers. That was the same this season as well, but what was not the same, is that the entire camp was able to participate in drills a day early.
In this age of professional athletes not wanting to do more than what they are paid to do, it is somewhat refreshing to see that the young Bucs all showed up early. Granted you can't read much into it, but it seems to me that all of those stories of the team coming together as a unit during all of that losing, may have some merit to it. It seems that they are ready to go to work and want this season to get under way.
In the grand scheme of things, there is not much to be had from seeing the entire camp show up early, but it is a good sign in that they are eager at least and want to be there. The same cannot be said of plenty of Pirates from the past decade plus.
