      It's four years of the closer, but I also don't like it for the DBacks. They continue to hold themselves back pursuing closers. Davidson strikes out a little too much, but he's been good at a young age at every level.

        Putz was very good for the DBacks in 2011-2012. He was hurt for part of last year but still ended up with plus ratios (including 38 k/34.1 IP). Some smarter org should see what they want for him.

          I can see wanting to get younger (which Putz is not) at closer, and I can see wanting a more traditional power pitcher there (which Ziegler is not), but the price seems a little steep to me. I'm not familiar with the front office situation with Arizona, so I have to ask if this is a case of a GM on the ropes, mortgaging the future to try to win now, a la Jack Z in Seattle?

          I'll have to check which league I have Davidson as a minor leaguer in. If it's my NL-Only, I'll have some colorful language to direct at the D-backs.

              Just as I feared, it's 12TO, which is NL-Only. f**k sh** sh** f**k &$%#@!*--and I mean it.

                Does he start the year in Chicago, or is he in AAA for control reasons?

                  Kevin Towers is the GM.

                  Are you referring to Reed in Arizona? I would assume he's the closer there now from Day 1, no?

                    I'm pretty sure he means Davidson. It's unclear on cot's whether his clock has actually started.

                      Got it. By "control" I thought he was referring to Reed's control issues, lol.

                        Ahhh memories, this reminds me of when they traded my #1 farm pick Trevor Bauer away to the AL.

                          When it happens, you know it's just part of playing in an "only" league--but it still sucks.

                            Jeesh, Arizona is high on Reed. Or something.
                            Find that level above your head and help you reach it.
