DBACKS TRADE: A.J. Puk LH RP

[outcent13]

I’m in agreement . I just think Deyvison has a better hit tool than he has been given credit for. Melendez is three years older as a point of reference

Great trade - he's exactly what we need from the left side. He's under control, and has been dominant as a reliever. This is the best I've felt about our bullpen group in a long time. Puk/Ginkel/Thompson/Martinez/Sewald is a damn good 5 man.

The best part is if they want to still use Mantiply as the occasional opener for one of our youngsters, when the opposing lineup is loaded with lefties, it leaves a dominant Lefty and the Dbacks bullpen.

Looked really good game 1. Loved the confidence in his slider to throw it for a legit strike and a swinging strike in a 2-0 count

The boys are playing well. If we get our starting pitchers back and they pitch well I like our chances .

It's nice to have a lefty who can also get right handed batters out...doesn't have to just be a lefty specialist.

2 1/2 years of AJ Puk was significantly cheaper than 2 months of Tanner Scott, great trade by Hazen
