Fri, 25 May 2012 10:24:48 -0700 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?"
Fri, 25 May 2012 05:12:49 -0700 Cincinnati Reds RP Logan Ondrusek recorded his second save Thursday, May 24, as RP Aroldis Chapman had the night off.
Mon, 21 May 2012 19:39:47 -0700 Cincinnati Reds RP Aroldis Chapman was arrested early Monday, May 21, for having a suspended Kentucky driver's license. He was originally pulled over for driving 93 mph. He was cited for speeding and driving under suspension and was released from jail after posting bond.
Sun, 20 May 2012 14:58:15 -0700 Cincinnati Reds RP Aroldis Chapman pitched a scoreless ninth inning against the New York Yankees Sunday, May 20, to pick up his first save of the season.
Fri, 18 May 2012 11:25:58 -0700 Cincinnati Reds RP Aroldis Chapman is being sued for $18 million, but it's unknown if there is a legitimate case against him in a civil suit. "A family of Miami on Thursday filed a civil suit against Chapman and his father, Juan Alberto Chapman Benett, as the main culprits for the arrest, conviction and torture of Curbelo Danilo Garcia, who is currently serving a sentence of 10 years in prison in Cuba."
Thu, 17 May 2012 15:25:29 -0700 Cincinnati Reds RP Aroldis Chapman ended his streak of not allowing a run in 19 1/3 innings this year Thursday, May 17, by allowing an unearned run, so his ERA remains intact at 0.00. Chapman gave up one hit while walking two and striking out two in the 35-pitch performance.
Thu, 17 May 2012 06:39:51 -0700 Cincinnati Reds SP Bronson Arroyo said he doesn't think RP Aroldis Chapman would be as effective as a starting pitcher. "There's a big difference between going into a game and overpowering guys in a clutch situation than it is to face guys three or four times," Arroyo said. "He's going to throw a lot of pitches. As good as his stuff is, you're going to get a lot of swings and misses. If you're getting a lot of swings and misses, at times you'll have control problems. And you'll get a lot of high pitch counts for every hitter. So, you're probably going to throw 100 pitches after five innings every time."
Wed, 16 May 2012 16:08:26 -0700 Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Reds RP Aroldis Chapman appears likely to remain in the bullpen for the time being. "Someday, yeah," manager Dusty Baker said. "But right now, we need him in the 'pen. We lost (Ryan) Madson. We lost (Bill) Bray. If he wasn't in the position he's in, we wouldn't be in the position we're in. This guy hasn't given up a run. He's gotten people out of trouble. He's won games." Chapman hasn't given up a run in 18 1/3 innings this year. He's likely to remain in the bullpen for as long as RPs Bill Bray (back, groin) and Nick Masset (shoulder) are out, and neither are close to returning.
Wed, 16 May 2012 15:02:19 -0700 Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker said the plan is still for RP Aroldis Chapman to start "someday," but the skipper also mentioned the possibility of the lefty closing.
Mon, 14 May 2012 07:03:48 -0700 Cincinnati Reds RPs Aroldis Chapman and Logan Ondrusek haven't allowed an earned run all season. Chapman is 3-0 with 31 strikeouts in 17 2/3 innings. Ondrusek is 2-0 with a save and 11 strikeouts in 14 2/3 innings.
