He's different than Contreras. Contreras had great stuff, but he was already close to what he would eventually become. He was just a head case in NY. Chapman is a rough, rough arm, but has some of the best tools you will find on a left handed pitcher. This is the charge of the farm system. If you can control his 102mph FB and his slider, then you could have a left handed ace for a long, long time. Its a risky proposition
