Aroldis Chapman - R - Cincinnati Reds
Dec. 7, 2012 - 7:25 PM ET

Aroldis Chapman stated Friday that while he liked closing, he's always enjoyed being a starter and that's what he wants to do.

Chapman is expected to make that transition from the bullpen in 2013, but will be on an innings limit after only throwing 71 2/3 frames in 2012. Chapman added that he doesn't have any worries about his arm, and won't change his offseason preparations from any previous season.
