Comments on: Fantasy Land — What Would It Take To Get Cueto and Chapman? https://thepointofpittsburgh.com/fantasy-land-what-would-it-take-to-get-cueto-and-chapman/ Ideas Involving Pittsburgh Sat, 09 Apr 2016 00:23:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.4.2 By: Steve DiMiceli https://thepointofpittsburgh.com/fantasy-land-what-would-it-take-to-get-cueto-and-chapman/#comment-1533 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 13:19:00 +0000 https://thepointofpittsburgh.com/?p=2048#comment-1533 I think Cueto is exactly the type of pitcher they need to add if they’re going to improve the rotation. Locke has been good for a five, but Cueto up jumps he and Morton for a potential playoff rotation.

I don’t think anything can be said to suggest that Pirates need a major upgrade in the bullpen and Chapman doesn’t fit the bill of “an extra left handed option.” I would not use high end resources to acquire him.

Since I wrote my piece on trades it’s becoming more and more apparent that the Pirates need another bat and their best opportunity to improve is RF. Polanco got off to a nice start, but he’s quietly contributed little since.
