Remember how giddy Gillick was about possibly signing Contreras? Contreras had actually mowed down some MLB batters (the Blue Jays, I believe) in some sort of exhibition game pre-defection. there were some who thought he'd come in and be an instant #1 starter, #2 at the worst.
Of course Chapman comes in to the picture when upside means more than actual results... or even realistic projected results.
I'm with Sandy on this one. Not only is he a young lefty flamethrower whose arm could go 'ping' at any moment, the makeup issues have me wrinkling my nose.
