PRO Rumors: Reds and Aroldis Chapman, Giants and Buster Posey, Aubrey Huff, Mets and Fernando Martinez

By Allan

Good morning! Here are your Thursday PRO Rumors:

  • One National League scout said that Cincinnati Reds rookie Aroldis Chapman is the team’s best pitcher. “How can they think about starting him in the minors?” Chapman went three innings, alloing one run and one hit in his third outing of the spring. (John Fay, Cincinnati Enquirer)
  • Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle says that Giants’ catcher Buster Posey is “about a seven” (on a scale of 1 to 10) playing first base. Schulman says that the team is giving Posey a longer look at first base to determine if he’s going to make the 25-man roster out of camp. Posey is hitting .375 this spring compared to the newly signed Giant Aubrey Huff, who is hitting .241 this spring.
  • Anthony Mccarron of the New York Daily News says that it is unlikely that the Mets’ Fernando Martinez will make the team’s Opening Day roster despite having 10 RBIs, hitting .538 and slugging 1.115.
