Not really. Leake made the rotation, and he has played Cozart exclusively at SS out of the gate.
It was honestly just bad luck that nearly forced Chapman to the 'pen... we had 5 guys who are used to starting, and a couple of bullpen injuries.
But I have had nearly enough of Homer Bailey. Give the guy another few starts, but if he is still sucking it up at the end of April, something must be done with him. Send him somewhere for a handful of beans and an A-baller. Whatever. He needs to go. Chapman needs to start. But as it is, they are making it very hard for Chapman to make that transition, because as soon as he was stretched out and nearly ready to go, they put him back in the 'pen again. Just frustrating.
