Then his arm/shoulder fatigue. Throwing one inning 3 days in a row at the most, compared to several innings every 5 days. There is no comparison. IMO, he is not cut out to be a starter.

I agree. Most explicitly the parts about Chaps head. Dude is simply not smart enough to be a starter. I've seen nothing that leads me to believe he's more
pitcher than
thrower.
