RP
Chapman, Aroldis
CIN
Several scouts and opposing general managers think Cincinnati Reds RP Aroldis Chapman is best suited to stay in the bullpen and be a closer in his career. "He's a thrower, not a pitcher," said one assistant GM who has been expressing this opinion since he first saw video of Chapman in Cuba. "He's a two-pitch guy. He doesn't have a third pitch. So I just don't see it. I see a thrower, not a pitcher. And those guys belong in the 'pen." Some still think he can succeed as a starter down the road, though. "Remember," one executive said, "when Randy Johnson first got to the big leagues, he was just fastball-slider, and he was even wilder than this guy. So if, in a year, (Chapman's) command continues to improve the way it already has and he can get a feel for the change, I think he can be a big-time starter. But that's the biggest question: Does he have the feel?"

St. Louis Cardinals SP Adam Wainwright said he threw around 11 four-seam fastballs in his complete game earlier this week and the pitch showed good movement during the game. Wainwright has not used the four-seam fastball on a regular basis since he was in Double-A. He has been working on the pitch but is not sure if he will continue to use the pitch or focus on the pitches he uses.
