2016 D'Backs Offseason

[overseascardfan]

ugh

Supposedly, they are looking for more than just Rodney. Speculation is that they may deal a SP for a reliever as they are getting interest in Miller & Corbin but are said to be asking for a lot in return for either of them (smart as some team may get desperate for a young, cheap SP after market dries up). I say there is still Neftali Feliz out there, Greg Holland, Luke Hochevar, Jonathan Papelbon, etc. Keep the young SP's unless someone gets desperate and makes you an offer you can't refuse, its not like we are competing for a playoff spot next year with the rotation we currently have.

ARZ bringing back DLR.

I saw the article and expected to be disappointed that they would give Rubby a spot in the starting rotation. It just hasn't worked out.

Then I saw that they will give him a chance as a reliever. Whew. It's worth a try.

I guess by releasing him and re-signing him is cheaper than him going through arbitration. Are the remaining relievers pricing themselves out of ARZs price range that they had to go with DLR in attempt to complete the bullpen? I was hoping they would have brought back David Hernandez instead.

i think Rubby De La Rosa will make a decent reliever.

 

[Dback Jon]

i think Rubby De La Rosa will make a decent reliever.

Agreed. He is a decent pitcher
