Our draft position always sucks so we need to compensate in the international free agent market, especially since the MLB is looking like they will implement an international draft and we'll be screwed again! That is why the Yankees needed to take advantage of the system NOW before it is changed... Aroldis Chapman threw 104 mph tonight in his second - and second dominant - big league appearance. The Cuban lefty struck out 12 batters per nine at Triple A in his pro debut this year and when the Reds promoted him, Chapmania ensued. He could have signed this guy for just money (and compared to normal free agents, peanuts), the one thing he has plenty of. WHY DIDN'T HE??? Cashman asleep at the wheel as usual. :wall: |

Vin and I were screaming for the Yanks to sign this guy while you and MM were feeding the squirrels at the park and Matt23 was going on and on about how much Contreras sucked. Cashman is a total moron for not signing this guy. |

Haha, it's true I am not a big fan of the huge international signings anymore, but Vin pushes to sign any guy brought up in a column! I kind of liked him going to Cincy, as much as I wouldn't mind him right now. |

Don't forget Rob, nobody was saying "f*ck Chapman" more than me. And I still say f*ck Chapman. He'll fail. Just like I said Strasburg would be derailed by injuries. Just like I said Edinson Volquez would flame out quick after that one good year. And I don't remember if I said it here, but I did say in May that Ubaldo Jimenez will either be so-so next year or get injured and need shoulder surgery then suck thereafter. They all fail the name test. The f*ck right I believe in it. And Chapman fails the character test. That ******ish **** would be trouble here. Hell, I think he'll be trouble in Cincy. He'll be arrested for serving alcohol (and marijuana) to a minor and tack on a statutory. That's a man who f*cks 14-year-old girls. And he'll probably also blow out his elbow. f*ck Chapman. |
