So if you can look past the fact that I am a Reds fan and give me your honest thoughts, it would be appreciated.</div><div><br /></div><div>Earlier today Yahoo Sports broke a story on Reds pitching prospect Aroldis Chapman, which can be found here <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Report-Scout-clocks-Reds-pitching-prospect-Cha;_ylt=AnmBUMFhgwVbaH3dSwP9M3SrO4d4?urn=mlb-265783">http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Report-Scout-clocks-Reds-pitching-prospect-Cha;_ylt=AnmBUMFhgwVbaH3dSwP9M3SrO4d4?urn=mlb-265783</a>. Reportedly the kid was clocked throwing at 105 mph. That speed sounds crazy to me. It excites and scares me as a fan. The idea of Chapman fanning batters while throwing pitches at the speed of sound is great. Although as we all know with the recent news of Stephan Strasburg pitchers are very fragile. </div><div><br /></div><div>First of all, what does this mean for the Reds? I'm wondering if we'll get to see a little of this guy when rosters expand in September. To be honest I don't know a great deal about him. Obviously the guy throws heat but early on I heard he was having some control issues. In the very game when the mythical 105 mph pitch was thrown, Chapman faced three batters retiring all of them swinging. 16 pitches 11 of which were strikes. Not too shabby. Should Reds fans get excited about him or is it too early to tell?</div><div><br /></div><div>Secondly, what does this mean for collectors? In earlier posts I've stated that I personally think putting stock in pitchers is very iffy do to the risk of injury. A tweak to a pitcher's arm is a much bigger deal than a tweak to a first baseman's arm. With that said, should collectors buy early before he gets hot? His cards are relatively inexpensive if we're comparing them to the likes of Strasburg, Harper and Heyward. Needless to say, yesterday even before this story broke I bought a couple of his Bowman Chrome rookie cards cheap. Maybe I'm on to something or maybe it'll be a flop.</div><div><br /></div><div>What do you guys think about Aroldis Chapman both as a player and someone to collect?</div>Dan Kettermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10541212801361851223noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044147756800320701.post-17044092582388978672010-08-28T08:41:00.000-07:002010-08-28T08:45:33.492-07:00Update!!!!!I've updated my "Want List" and "For Trade Lists".

But as we allknow pitchers are a little more fragile than your typical field player. He was just put on the 15-Day DL. I wonder if this is going to be a reoccurring thing that happens because of the type of pitcher he is.</div><div><a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/video/player/mlb/Y_Sports_MLB/21568861">http://sports.yahoo.com/video/player/mlb/Y_Sports_MLB/21568861</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/video/player/mlb/Y_Sports_MLB/21568861"></a>I know one could point at a guy like Greg Maddux w</div><div>ho pitched for close to 100 years and say he'll be fine. But Maddux was a different type of pitcher. Who is to say that Strasburg want change as he matures as a pitcher? Maybe he'll be fine throwing the gas that he throws the rest of his career. But what if he has 3 or 4 years plagued with injuries and he's done? </div></div><div><br /></div><div>I guess I don't understand why all of the hype for pitcher whose career, to me, seems like more of a shot in the dark than a guy like Jason Heyward. The value of Strasburg's cards are crazy right now some even going for thousands of dollars when Heyward's cards are considerably lower. For a guy, like myself, that can't drop high dollar money on sports cards but still wants to be able to collect and turn a profit Heyward seems like the best buy at the moment. I don't know I might be crazy but this seems like the safe bet hands down. I'd like to hear what you think about this.</div><div><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 182px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAFPTImUPzdN3zEHMk1jDZ0-fNlSpsdxDfOaZNg4LWCJEd3QC0_BSAVLuQyAqy9o_Be5xWF1y2wtXvuwx_DRt3bmAnFKPJZqsKWFt1Ub2y1pJ6GweY6Ry8IGG57h-KuVfHc1R1Ya_eh1w/s320/AG-Strasburg.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509388103456775522" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 244px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ20WQ_Ly52ENZ0y-cNWoGiH5bDvud8rAxIT5AM15fu6hZ8XKCyITM9lAybZ4QCWNpHtKilrpL_s59bQaF7omvLDILi8yBsq2KSaAnaay4im5_0ZfM4p_02597iaD3olFXk-AiSpNKr8k/s320/BwztnQEWkKGrHqNhkEv10FVpiBMKpz2N_12.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509388324328683154" /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Dan Kettermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10541212801361851223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044147756800320701.post-23553177193521854602010-08-24T19:13:00.000-07:002010-08-25T08:24:37.874-07:00Josh Hamilton- The Best Player in BaseballThis blog is going to be following me trying to collecting his memorabilia.
