You never know what position they will want you at. I've heard some things, but ultimately the goal is you have to hit the ball and try to work my way into a position."

"I've had no pain; it's nonexistent. For a little bit, when I came back, it was still tight, but it's fine now."

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 11:27:32 -0800

"Bryan said his breaking ball was a lot better than what he had seen on TV," manager Dusty Baker said. "His changeup was outstanding as well. He rarely threw it in international ball because he said a lot of guys sit on changeups and breaking balls. That's an adjustment he'll face here." Chapman will have opportunities to face major league hitters during spring training, but it is uncertain if he will begin the season with the parent club. Manager Dusty Baker said his performance in spring training will determine where he begins the season and added that the club will not rush him because of the amount of money he is making.

Imagine a left-handed, power-hitting catcher. A lot of that depends on our minor league development people that spend time with the kids and the time training them."

Reds | Chapman has plenty to work on

Jonathan Mayo, of MLB.com, reports one scout thinks Cincinnati Reds SP Aroldis Chapman has a lot to work on to become a major league starter. The scout said: "Fastball up to 95-100 mph. Slider is very inconsistent, below-average in quality. Changeup is well below-average. Mechanically, he often opens up too quickly with his front leg which, in turn, forces him to get around his slider. He doesn't always find a consistent slot with his release point - high 3/4 to 3/4 - where he gets pretty good late movement. He doesn't have a great feel for pitching. He is an above-average athlete with the kind of body you like to see in a pitcher. Future as a reliever seems more likely. Has shown a tendency to sulk and quit when the pressure is on."
