Baseball Prospectus’s Chris Buckley on Aroldis Chapman: “Our Latin American scouting director [Tony Arias] is Cuban-American and he talked to a number of people from Cuba. We did as much research on Aroldis as we could, as I’m sure that other teams did, and nothing came back to us that was anywhere near a red flag. I just spent the last day and a half with him, and he’s an impressive young man. I mean, he’s shy. He doesn’t speak English, but we knew that because we met with him before all of this came together. He’s very impressive.” [Baseball Prospectus]
