Bats' pitcher Chapman could be a relief for the Reds

[OnBaseMachine]

From Mark Sheldon:

At any point now, the phone could ring and summon Chapman to Cincinnati. In his last 10 appearances for Triple-A Louisville, the 22-year-old is 3-0 and has pitched 11 1/3 innings with one unearned run and six hits allowed. He has walked four and struck out 16 while opposing batters are hitting .150.

"We'd certainly feel comfortable bringing him up," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said. "He's doing well pitching in relief and seems to like it."

I liked this line from that


"From our standpoint, everything is in position when they feel they want him," Reynolds said. "We think he's close and one of the guys we'd recommend."
