Chapman I see as a 3-4 year phenom, unless he repairs successfully some of his serious delivery issues. Leake looks like a possible long lived guy.

What delivery issues?Chapman I see as a 3-4 year phenom, unless he repairs successfully some of his serious delivery issues.
Throwing a ball like that is unnatural. It comes more natural for some than most, which is why we see certain players with 'perfect' mechanics end up with arm injuries. If Chapman ends up with a slew of arm troubles, I really doubt it's a result of his mechanics.
I second that and look at Stewart in much the same light as Chapman. Leake is the "safe pick" to me and possibly could be the only one of the three that "sticks" as a starter. I see this as unlikely as I think all 3 have a chance to be TOR arms, but Leakes attributes gives him a higher chance for long-term sucess as a starter.

Bump.
One month later, anyone care to change their vote?
Go BLUE!!!
Chapman -- didn't vote the first time around
Hard to pick but given what we have seen of all of them Leake is the easiest choice for me. He might not have the best seasons but I think hes likely to last a long time in the league.
