Ask BA: Aroldis Chapman

BaseballAmerica.com: Prospects: Ask BA:

"Yes, Chapman would rate ahead of Frazier as Cincinnati's No. 1 prospect if we revised our Reds Top 10. However, Chapman's considerable upside is matched by a lengthy list of concerns. He may touch 102 mph with his fastball, but he's far from refined as a pitcher and most of the high-priced Cuban defectors have fallen short of expectations.

Chapman has one of the most electric arms in the world, and he'll be in the majors as soon as he adds some polish. There's no point in really setting any kind of timetable, because it should be obvious when he's ready...."
