Final Predictions for the Cincinnati Reds’ All-Star Fates

Aroldis Chapman, Relief Pitcher

If you need to get through one inning unscathed, there are few better candidates  than Aroldis Chapman to help you out.   Since it’s no longer cool to dig the long ball, velocity rules the day in terms of inspiring awe among fellow competitors and fans, and Chapman’s heat could blister the devil’s rear end.   Speed thrills, in other words, and so does Chapman, who also gives Matheny a leg up on securing home-field advantage in the World Series for the National League.

Prediction: On roster as reliever
