OF Nate McLouth might be in jeopardy of losing his job if playing for any other team. But there remains no indication that his .143 average and current 0-for-20 slide will cost him a roster spot.

McLouth is hitting .140 (8-for-57) with two RBI thus far in 2012.
Recommendation: The Pirates paid McLouth $1.75 million for a season as a fourth outfielder, but things haven't worked out. If the team had another option ready in the minor leagues, there's a good chance McLouth would've already been cut.
