Rob Biertempfel's post on Pittsburgh Pirates | Latest updates on Sulia

If #Pirates 2B Walker is back in action this weekend, what does it mean for Holt? SS may be option, although ...

Holt doesn't have greatest range -- "It is what is," Hurdle said -- but it's good enough to get by at SS. "That's all I saw him play in Instructional League, and he did fine," Hurdle said. Holt split time at 2B/SS @ Indy and played a lot of SS @ Altoona. "I feel comfortable there," Holt said. "I've played more games at SS this year than 2B. There are differences -- distances of throw, reads and angles, turns and feeds. But I feel pretty good at both positions." If bat stays hot, Holt could swipe playing time from Barmes down stretch.
