I thought Walt had said the plan was to send Chapman to the AFL to get him some more innings and help the transition back to starter next season.

He felt great all year and is happy to put everything behind him. He had a pretty good year and is hoping to start next season in great shape. Who knows, he may get a shot.
He'll never be a big "stuff" guy, but he's a good kid and a very good athlete that knows how to pitch. He gets a high percentage of ground balls, so maybe his route is a middle reliever, situational guy, I don't know. He's more than willing to do whatever it is the Reds, or another team, ask of him.
I'm proud of him no matter what, that's for sure.
*Bump*

Not exactly AFL news.... but I am attending games from 27-30 Oct
I've never been to the AFL
However, I did hear last year, that when DB was manager that some parents got mad because they could easily hear what was going on the field and they got mad because they could hear DB saying some choice words to the umpire.
