What is the story about?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Pirates fans and fans across the country.

We’re back again with another edition of Reacts, and this week’s question wants to know if you think the Pittsburgh Pirates are a Wild Card team if they are mostly healthy? At the time of this writing, the Bucs are 62-66, next to last in the NL Central and 6.5 games out of a Wild Card spot.

They have been dealing with a plethora of injuries,

including to Oneil Cruz, Konnor Griffin, Ryan O’Hearn, Endy Rodriguez, Spencer Horwitz, Jered Triolo, and Nick Yorke. That’s a lot of hurtin’.

What we want to know this week is, do you think they Bucs makes the playoffs if they were mostly healthy? Teams are always going to deal with injuries — nature of the beast. But the Bucs have plenty. Does it change anything of they are mostly healthy?
