Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said he's always preferred closer Aroldis Chapman as a starter, according to
Chapman signed with the club as a starting pitcher, but converted to a reliever during his rookie season. Over the past two seasons, he's emerged as one of the best closers in the game. Despite that, there's still some argument over whether he should start. With the Reds turning things over to new manager Bryan Price, the debate has been opened again. Jocketty said the team will "have to see what makes sense" for next season regarding Chapman's role.
Chapman had a 2.54 ERA in 63 2/3 innings.
