That would keep everybody on a normal rotation (I don't want to take starts away from Cueto and Latos), ease Chapman in and take advantage of Leake's ability to hit in a long relief role.

This is along the lines of what I was thinking. If chap went long enough you could play with who starts next. Basically pitch the 5th spot with these two. Maybe a couple times you skip or back up starts from Curto, latos etc. just part of the management. Dusty is a good manager of pitching right
