Look in Washington, Strassburg has sold plenty of seats for their organization. Win or lose, if BC wants attendance up, put Chappy in the rotation.

Chapman in the rotation only works if he is pitching well. The problem I forsee is, when he gets a little worn down or later in the games when he starts getting tagged. No one comes to watch Homer Bailey, who is barely a decent AAA pitcher, and he was 'the next big thing' coming thru the organization at one point in time.
