Yes, and my post was meant to highlight ... who cares what he's done in the past?
Since joining the D-backs, healthy and productive at bat beyond hope, we haven't seen any fielding problems worse than anyone else.
All posters have a right to their opinions, but I don't see how any D-backs fan would seek to minimize what JD means to us and how, without him, we wouldn't be a game away from clinching a playoff spot.
Even, regarding the debate about keeping Grienke vs. JD in the other thread, I choose JD. I value an ace pitcher but, at best, Zack has the potential to affect every fifth game. JD has the potential to affect every game of the season -- even those where he may get a rest and be available to pinch hit late in the game.
Is Greinke available to be a closer on his off days? Well, maybe once a year when he could do it in Game 7 of the World Series as RJ did back in 2001.
P.S.: It seems so obvious, I think this is the easiest post I've had to write.
