Why the heck would you trade Peralta? Still under control. Great player. Homegrown.

Dbacks are looking at a 3-5 year rebuilding process and Peralta at 31 is basically the textbook definition of a sell high player.

We need a FEW good players. The team will be completely unwatchable otherwise.

Downside to being a small market team with a non existent farm system. Once you start selling off talent you kind of have to go all in or you end up doing nothing but dragging the rebuilding process on for longer then it needs to be.

Look to the Suns this past decade and how they tried to balance rebuilding with maintaining competitiveness during the process after they lost Steve Nash and what a miserable failure that has been

True. But not sure playing in front of 10K nightly is the trick either.

*Still pissed at the SalaryDump that was the Touki Trade

I think that is inevitable at this stage.

The Braves have already come up short in an attempt to acquire Peralta this offseason, though, and the D-backs don’t seem willing to part with Ray.

I hope we have both Peralta and Ray next season.

The Freight Train was our most consistent, dependable hitter last season.

And Robbie, whether Greinke stays or goes, is our most dependable starter.

Even during rebuilding years, a team needs a few faces of the organization.

A hitter, a starting Pitcher and, if Archie can match his pitching to his leadership, a closer.

That would make next season so much easier to take.

What makes Robbie Ray the most dependable starter?

What makes Robbie Ray the most dependable starter?

2018 D-backs top starters:

PITCHER..........GS.........W-L.......ERA - STATUS

Greinke...........33.......15-11.....3.21 - Trying to trade - 35 years old
Corbin.............33.......11-7.......3.15 - Gone
Godley............32.......15-11.....4.74 - 4.74 ERA!
Ray................24.........6-2.......3.93 - 3.84 D-backs ERA in 4 seasons - 27 years old
Koch...............14.........5-5.......4.15 - Has only 16 Major League starts
Buchholz........10.........7-2........2.01 - Lifetime ERA 3.86 - 34 years old

OK, unless Greinke is not traded, I would say that Robbie is the man to beat for the top of the rotation.

And, even so, Greinke was not really a stopper last year
