I don't know. He looks good, but keep in mind he's never pitched an inning in the majors. This is really a risky move.

But his upside is nothing we've had the privilege of being a part of in recent years. The Reds are making a risky move on an unproven major league talent. However, the Reds ARE making a move. We're taking a gamble. That alone is something worthy of praise.

Chapman
Bailey
Leake

I think I just had a minor heartattack. Nice too see a move made. Especially since it's a guy with this much potential.

That may well be our 2011 rotation (in no particular order)... but you're right: it's in 2012 that that rotation (in no particular order) ought to be solidified and mature enough to strike fear in the hearts of any opponent.

Now, let's hear that the Coresponding Roster Move (to make room for Chapman on the 40-man) be waiving Taveras, and this will be the greatest day in Reds off-season history...
