Chapman?


The Nachoman's Cubs correspondent Deep Dish writes in to ask about the Reds signing of Aroldis Chapman.


1.  I trust Walt Jocketty.
2.  $5 mil per year isn't really that much, as major league pitchers go.
3.  I don't believe the 102 mph baloney for a second.  Remember the "gyroball?"
4.  I'm much more worried about Rolen's contract.  I like him, but isn't he older than me?
5.  I'd be a whole lot more confident if I thought the Reds had a decent pitching coach.  Can we please steal Dave Duncan or Leo Mazzone?  Mazzone is broadcasting, for Bob's sake, he's available!
6.  Isn't Havana the best possible expansion city for MLB?  Can someone please just "dissapear" whichever Castro is in charge so we can put a team there?
