I could see it -especially if Rhodes' Plantar Facitis (Sp?) is going to be a nagging issue.

Re: Chapman Up Early this Week?
I hope he comes up in time to get a little work against the Brewers before we head to St. Louis. As far as Arthur, I don't think the foot is what is troubling him. Thom and Brantley kept harping on it today but I wasn't seeing it. He just wasn't making pitches. Relievers go through that sometimes. Not that it's not hurting him, but I don't think it is what is causing him to pitch poorly over the last couple of outings.

It's official. He's heading to Cincinnati. He'll be activated prior to tomorrow's game.
I saw it on Reds Live. |

Bats trainer, Tomas Vera, is heading up with Chapman. He's been his translator.

Re: Chapman Up Early this Week?
He is going to be a trainer for the Reds too. But I guess he has become good friends with Chapman and is going to help him in his transition to Cincinnati as a companion of sorts. Chapman's English is supposedly improved a lot but is still very poor.

Re: Chapman Up Early this Week?
Gotta remember chapman is 22 and has only known his team mates and american baseball for a few months. Its probably a lot easier for him if he has someone Dusty and those guys can come to and get a feel for him first instead of going straight to him.
