Quin Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Chapman went 4 1/3 innings, 0 ER, 9 K's. How long before he's called up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about service time and saving money (the Braves being the only team to say "f*** it" with Heyward). Guys like Chapman, Strasburg, Posey, Alvarez and Santana have no business in the minors. They'll all be up by late May, early June. Edited April 11, 2010 by Jordan4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I think Lillibridge misses the comfort of the majors Just finished series in Gwinnett in GA. 10 hour bus ride to Norfolk, VA the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Just saw highlights of both Strasburg/Chapman. Strasburg needs to stop it. Oh my god. I seriously think he could finish in the top 10 in the CY voting right now. Forget about the FB that regularly hits 98-100 MPH. His breaking stuff is not of this planet. Chapman was filthy as well. Although it seemed he was throwing nothing but fastballs. I'm just glad these two are in the NL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Mark Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Strasburg - 5 IP, 4 R, 1ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 8 K. He got the win. He also hit himself an RBI double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think, I thought the Reds management were idiots letting that kid, who is so raw (waaaay more than Stras who is in AA right now) start off in AAA like this (not to mention Leake who has never even pitched in the minors be up in the big leagues) It's still very early, but so far it looks like I'm the idiot for doubting them.

Thats going to be a team nobody wants to face next season with Cueto, Volquez, Leake, and Chapmann. I think they have 2 good hitting prospects too in Alonso/Frazier that both can be ready next season to take starting gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Bailey. Yea their rotation is young, powerful (Leake the only guy who probably won't throw over 95, but has, IMO, the best movement or second best next to Cueto), and stacked. Assuming of course Volquez comes back all the way which usually takes about two years to be very good again. Drew Stubbs has incredible speed BTW. Some say, he's probably top 5 in pure speed in the game right now. Edited April 12, 2010 by SoxAce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were them id def. consider trading Harang/Arroyo/Dickerson this season though, assuming the plan is for Votto to go to the OF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Harang. That dude has fallen off a cliff since 2007. I actually like Arroyo. Not sure how much he gets paid. But he's an ideal 4th starter.

Not sure how much he gets paid. But he's an ideal 4th starter. Arroyo, who turns 30 on Feb. 24, will make $3.8 million this season, as stipulated in his old contract. Instead of making $3.95 in 2008, he will get an additional $2.5 million bonus. The earnings increase to $9.5 million in 2009 and $11 million in 2010 with an $11 million club option for 2011 that can climb to $13 million if he reaches incentives. The option carries a $2 million buyout. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy was working a lot harder than the usual due diligence. Considering the White Sox history with the D-Backs, Kenny Williams always looking to deal, and now the attempt to remove Santo Luis from the 40 man by exposing him to waivers, something is up.
