KB has been gumming it up with Keith Law about Chapman.
KBwsb: Klaw, the very first thing I thought about when I saw Reds/Ardolis was Dusty Baker. In your opinion, is his rep as a terrible influence on young pitchers deserved
Klaw: Yes, he's as bad as his rep, and then some. He's the wrong manager for a team with good young pitching, although I suppose the plus here is that he can't hurt Volquez any further in 2010.
