That Harper kid would look good in a Reds uni.
Rumor has it that the NL Central are working together to sign Chapman, with him playing for each team every six days. His arm is golden, allowing him to throw up to 6,000 pitches a day with no reprucussions.
Note: I started this rumor. Right now.

Must have been an advance scout getting a read on Chapman to give info to Red's hitters. No way its some one with any intentions of signing this kid.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
I'm actually surprised that the Reds spent the money to even send the scout to watch.

From a Baseball America chat yesterday:
Mac (Ca)
A's or Marlins on Chapman?

Those rumors are out there, yes. Reds, too.

Callis may have meant the Red Sox.
If it is the Reds, kind of a rematch of the Michel Inoa sweepstakes, which pitted the Reds, A's and another team against each other.
I wouldn't be totally surprised if it's the Reds, but I would be seriously shocked if they sign him.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
