I hope part of that "work to do" is trading Montgomery for a couple buckets of balls. We don't need a 6+ or 7+ ERA SP on the roster - regardless of his terrible contract.

Most Captain Obvious quote I've seen a while.

Most Captain Obvious quote I've seen a while.

He said work, not money. Big difference.

Ouch

Newman though is misleading since he mainly played when others were injured.

We also get Drey back. It'll be interesting to see where he lands on the team. I still think he could be a future closer, so maybe a chance at being the setup man.

Still very much in need of an answer at DH.

 

[Bobster]

SP - Burnes, Gallen, Henry, Kelly, Montgomery, Nelson, Pfaadt, Rodriguez
RP - Ginkel, Jameson, Mantiply, Martinez, Puk, Thompson
C - Moreno, Del Castillo, Herrera
IF - Alexander, Lawlar, Lawa, Marte, Naylor, Perdomo, Suarez
OF - Carroll, Gurriel, McCarthy, Pache, Smith, Thomas

You have to figure Montgomery will be traded and Pfaadt and Henry could be headed for the bullpen. Herrera, Lawa and Pache look like organizational depth.

DH and closer are the team's big questions right now.

 

[outcent13]

So we now have options to trade from starting pitching depth and outfield. We need bullpen and some bats.

What is available out there trade wise?

There is zero chance Pfaadt is moved to the bullpen. He is the future nearly threw 200 innings and nearly had 200 Ks. Nelson also threw a ton of innings and both had much better seconds halves.

My guess for starting 5

Gallen
Burnes
Rodriguez
Pfaadt
Nelson

Henry is optioned
Montgomery moved and pay 60% salary with little in return.
Kelly is moved with a young arm like Diaz for a hitter.

Puk closes and Jameson is set up.

Torey must have really disliked Josh Bell. Signs to be Washington's DH for just 6 million

Maybe Bell got rung up too often.

.361 OBP with us but vanished at the end of the year. In those last 4 games we lost, 7 total PA

Yeah, he started out a house on fire and fell off big time. Not a big loss.

Where Corbin Burnes leaves the D-backs' rotation

The Diamondbacks have too many starters for its rotation after bringing Corbin Burnes, a great problem and an opportunity to add elsewhere.
