Battling Bucs : Pirates Offseason Roster Breakdown

I put together the following breakdown of the Pirates roster as we head into the offseason to prepare for what I'm hoping is another great season in 2014. It is rather simple but I figure it provides a good starting point for an offseason discussion.

Under Contract: Wandy Rodriguez*, Russell Martin, Andrew McCutchen, Jason Grilli, Jose Tabata, Francisco Liriano
Arbitration Eligible: Garrett Jones*, Neil Walker, Charlie Morton*, Gaby Sanchez, Pedro Alvarez*, Mark Melancon*, Michael McKenry*, Travis Snider*, Vin Mazzaro*, Felix Pie*
League Min Players with Options: Tony Watson, Jared Hughes, Josh Harrison, Starling Marte, Jeff Locke, Justin Wilson, Jordy Mercer, Phil Irwin, Gerrit Cole, Kris Johnson, Andrew Lambo, Tony Sanchez, Chase d'Arnaud, Brandon Cumpton, Ryan Reid
League Min Players without Options: Jeanmar Gomez, Bryan Morris, Kyle McPherson*, Stolmy Pimentel, Andrew Oliver, Jerry Sands
Free Agents: A.J. Burnett, Justin Morneau, John Buck, Clint Barmes, Jeff Karstens, Marlon Byrd, Kyle Farnsworth
Notable Players Eligible for Rule V Draft: Gregory Polanco, Alen Hanson*, Carlos Paulino, Gift Ngoepe, Casey Sadler, David Bromberg*, Zack Dodson, Zach Thornton, Justin Howard, Stetson Allie, Erik Cordier*, Ivan De Jesus*, Mel Rojas, Adalberto Santos, Joely Rodriguez
Likely Positions of Need: 1B, SS, RF, SP
Notes
1. Wandy Rodriguez has a player option he is likely to exercise
2. Jones, Morton, Melancon, Snider, Mazzaro and Pie are all arbitration eligible and are out of options
3. Pedro Alvarez has a player option he is likely to decline and head to arbitration.
4. Michael McKenry is a likely Super 2 player meaning he should be arbitration eligible
5. The Pirates will likely seek a 4th option for McPherson
6. Alen Hanson may or may not be Rule V eligible
7. Bromberg, Cordier and De Jesus in addition to being Rule V eligible are minor league free agents
