Chapman nearly ready?

I'm guessing a lot of you have already seen this, but it's hard not to get excited for this kid:

I wonder if they plan to keep him in the bullpen for good, or if they'll still try to make a starter out of him eventually...

I'd rather they keep him on course to start. A good starter is more valuable than a good bullpen arm almost every time.

With the issues our bullpen has had, I can see them wanting to look into it, but I can't see a young inexperienced supposed starting pitcher with control problems being the solution for a first place team trying to make a run at the playoffs. Not that they are the absolute answer, but I thought that is why they brought in Springer and Ishringhausen.
