Fantasy Analysis
Pirates starting pitchers on major league deals, even ones with a future, have little Fantasy intrigue outside of NL-only leagues. Most of these guys will spend the year in the minors and off Fantasy radars. None of these guys are worth drafting even in NL-only leagues at this point.
