GOODYEAR, Ariz. — One look at the Cincinnati starting rotation and it seems clear that it’s first-class.
And that’s without left-hander Aroldis Chapman in it.
Chapman, the Cuban refugee who made the jump to the big leagues last year as a reliever, is going to remain a reliever in 2011, pitching coach Bryan Price told FanHouse Tuesday.
Price is quick to point out that ultimately the Reds see the 22-year-old lefty as a dominant starting pitcher, but that time has not yet come. Cincinnati is loaded in the rotation with Bronson Arroyo, Johnny Cueto and Edinson Volquez at the top and Homer Bailey, Mike Leake and Travis Wood ready to do battle for the fourth and fifth spots when the Reds start spring training with a first workout Thursday.
