| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2012-02-07 13:00:00 | How many starts will Aroldis Chapman get in the majors, and how will they go? (J from Queen City) | I think they should just let him relieve and have done him no favors with role jerking around. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | Most exciting fastball in baseball? How about most exciting pitch? Aroldis Chapman's fastball from the pen? (Johnny from SD) | Watching Chapman throw a pen is a lot of fun, but watching guys like Matt Moore in the Future's Game was just as fun. When his power curve morphed into that cut/slider offering, thrown with extreme tilt in the upper 80s, I almost shit my pants with excitement. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-11-15 13:00:00 | How do you feel about Tommy Hanson, Michael Pineda and Aroldis Chapman in 2012? I can only freeze seven players from my 2011 roster. Hanson's injuries worry me.
(dscala from Durham, NH) | What's the league setup and who else do you have? I think Pineda is a definite freeze, and Chapman is a guy to let go (unless it's a very deep league and your other options aren't that intriguing). Hanson is a keep unless you have some overwhelmingly good options, because if he's healthy, he's excellent, and he'll have had a lot of time to rest up. (Derek Carty) |
| 2011-08-16 17:00:00 | Is Aroldis Chapman's future in the 'pen for sure? (jamin67038 from Wichita, KS) | He hasn't started a game at the major league level yet - rare to see a guy make that kind of change at his supposed age of 23. (Jason Collette) |
| 2011-06-06 17:00:00 | Why did no one know about the Cuban until now? And why is he eligible for the draft, instead of a free agent like Aroldis Chapman and Noel Arguelles? (Brian from North Side) | Because he defected to the U.S., so he's a U.S. guy, and he's in the draft. See Escobar, Yunel. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-03-17 13:00:00 | Who do you think the first closer to lose his job will be? (mef from Brooklyn, NY) | There's still some jobs that aren't totally decided yet, and most guys who have to wait this long to claim the gig usually have a pretty short leash. Among those who we know will start the year at closer, I've got to go with Fernando Rodney of the Angels, who's just not that good and has a few guys behind him, even with Scott Downs' injury. I particularly like Jordan Walden there.
Honorable mention goes to Francisco Cordero, who's declining and can't possibly fend off Aroldis Chapman all year. (Mike Petriello) |
| 2011-02-14 13:00:00 | World Series predictions? ROY/CY Young/MVP guesses? (Sean from DC) | I am just dreadful at this. I'm always trying to be surprising and end up saying something stupid. WIth that in mind, let's go with Phillies vs. Tigers in the Series. I'll say Desmond Jennings and Aroldis Chapman for ROY, Pujols and Cabrera for MVP, and Halladay and Verlander for Cy. (Tommy Bennett) |
| 2010-11-09 14:00:00 | Chances Aroldis Chapman makes it as a starter? Can he stay healthy? His delivery is so fluid and easy-looking. (Joe from Brooklyn) | I hope he goes back to that role certainly. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-12-02 13:00:00 | Bronson Arroyo, Johnny Cueto, Edinson Volquez, Homer Bailey, Travis Wood, Mike Leake, Matt Maloney, Sam LeCure, Aroldis Chapman. That's 9 guys for 5 rotation spots in Cincinnati. How can Jocketty best capitalize on that depth? (RMR from Chicago) | A few of the brighter bulbs 'round these parts (where there isn't much call for cheddar, by the way)have made a few suggestions. IIRC, SG recommended they trade Volquez, while CK opted for shipping out Maloney, I think. Me, I'd find out what sort of a market there is for Mike Leake -- maybe he's already at his peak trade value. It's really, really hard to predict trades that actually get made, because you almost always look like you're way over- or under-valuing someone in retrospect. That being said, sitting on all that pitching is like sitting on a pot of gold, and Jocketty is sure to be a very popular man next week. (Ken Funck) |
| 2010-08-20 15:30:00 | Has Aroldis Chapman met, exceeded, or fallen below your expectations? Based on what you've seen and heard so far, what do you expect in the future? (Mario66 from Toronto) | Met. Has better pure stuff than any lefty prospect in the game. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-08-20 15:30:00 | Any chance the Reds' AAA affiliate could beat the Pirates in a 7 game series? They're trotting out a lineup of Dave Sappelt, Chris Valaika, Yonder Alonso, Todd Frazier, Juan Francisco, Danny Dorn, and Devin Mesoraco, with Sam LeCure, Matt Maloney, Aaron Harang, and Aroldis Chapman among their pitchers. (Joe from Cincy) | I was going to rip you and talk about how massive the different is between Triple-A and the big leagues is, but they might have a chance. I'll still favor the Pirates though. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-08-26 13:00:00 | Hi Marc, thanks for the chat. I'm trying to pick 5 keepers from this bunch: Hellickson, Heyward, Stanton, Aroldis Chapman, Phil Hughes, Pedro Alvarez, Jesus Montero, Neftali Feliz, Lincecum...Should I try to corner the young pitching market with Hughes, Hellickson, Chapman, Lincecum, Feliz or are the 2 20-year old OFs more valuable? (cbelford from Chicago) | In real life, you can never have too much pitching. But in fantasy, you need to bet on the sure thing more often, because the reason you can never have too much pitching is due to the volatility of the performances and concerns over injuries. I am much more comfortable keeping the two 20 year old outfielders and Pedro Alvarez than by going all pitching. Heyward, Stanton, Alvarez, Feliz, Lincecum would be my five from your group. If you can make a trade by packaging some of the others together, I would explore it. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-07-22 13:00:00 | Should Yunieski Maya enter the Nationals pitching rotation as soon as governmentally possible? (HalfStreet from Fairfax VA) | ASAGP. I like that. I think he can get to the majors faster than it will end up taking Aroldis Chapman, certainly. He's older and has more polish. (Tommy Bennett) |
| 2010-06-10 13:00:00 | Dynasty league question: Would you rather have Aroldis Chapman or Mike Leake over the next six years? (Dennis from LA) | Chapman for upside. I think Leake is basically Tim Hudson. He's really good and really polished already, but how much better do you think a groundball guy without a true out pitch is going to get? If you want the safer pick, Leake is a great one, but he's up now because he's basically a finished product. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-06-02 13:00:00 | Thank you for answering my earlier question. Brennan Boesch: are you a believer? Also, how good do you think Aroldis Chapman will be? (Dennis from LA) | I think Boesch is fine, but not nearly as good as he has been so far (perhaps obviously). If that sounds like hedging, it's because it is, but remember that Raburn is ready if Boesch stumbles. The last two years, though, Boesch seems to have found a good power stroke. As long has he can keep his batting average up, the lack of walks won't kill him. If not...look out. (Tommy Bennett) |
| 2010-05-28 14:00:00 | Thank you for the chat, Kevin. How do you like Aroldis Chapman so far, and what do you see him ultimately becoming? Do you like him more than Mike Leake? (Dennis from LA) | Chapman's ceiling is certainly higher than Leake, but obviously there's some risk there. Very different guys. It's a savings bond vs. tech stock situation. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-05-14 13:00:00 | How long do you think the Reds can stay this hot and could they actually be buyers this season with talent like Yonder Alonso on the way? (SprungOnSports from Long Island) | There's a lot of good young talent in Cincy, particularly in the rotation, where there's upside galore even if Aroldis Chapman doesn't show up, which he probably will. If Dusty Baker can stop with the self-destructive lineup assembly (.191/.263/.291 from the leadoff spot!) then I think they could be buyers, but I'm not sold on Alonso (.267/.388/.406 in Double-A, and apparently recently promoted to Triple-A) as being tremendously helpful at the moment. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2010-05-05 13:00:00 | I only get four bench spots in my main league, and I've got Aroldis Chapman eting one of those spots. Do you see him making a contribution this year, or is he just going to be a September call up?
As it stands right now I don't have any open bench spots for spot starts, or offensive replacements. (JayT from San Francisco) | He'll be called up. He's already in Triple-A, so I think if he can keep the walks under control that he'll be called up sooner than later. I'm holding on to him in an NL-only, but if you're in a mixed, non-keeper and have someone who can help you just as much (and sooner) it may be worth it to get them. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-03-26 13:00:00 | Jay, who are your pet players this year? Guys you expect to put themselves on the map or take an underrated step forward? (slim from Fairfield Cty) | You know, for some reason the team I always come back to for questions like this is the Reds. Not that I EXPECT their young guys to take a step forward so much as that I'm interested to see if they can. To see if pitchers like Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake or Aroldis Chapman can succeed in that ballpark, under Dusty. To see if Jay Bruce finally lives up to the hype, if Chris Dickerson can hold down a regular corner spot. I don't actually root for the Reds, but I've been intrigued by their collection of talent for years. (Jay Jaffe) |

| 2010-04-05 09:30:00 | Season Opener Roundtable | "Jake Green (LA): In 2015, who will be the best pitcher of the three? Tim Lincecum, Stephen Strasburg, or Aroldis Chapman?" Good question. Today I'll go with Tiny Tim, since he's the proven quantity and I'm notoriously risk averse. Ask again in September, though, and you might well get a different answer. (Ken Funck) |
| 2010-04-05 09:30:00 | Season Opener Roundtable | "Jake Green (LA): In 2015, who will be the best pitcher of the three? Tim Lincecum, Stephen Strasburg, or Aroldis Chapman" I really don't know how to answer these kinds of questions, to be honest. The analytical part of my brain kicks in and says that the margin of error on this sort of thing vastly swamps the difference between them in talent. So if you're sending in these questions and I'm not picking them, please don't feel slighted. I just honestly don't have a good answer for you, and don't feel like giving you a bad answer just to say I did. (Colin Wyers) |
