Red is SUPER hard to read. I do hope you reconsider the redesign or at least go to an easier color to read like blue.

Ziegler did a very solid job replacing Reed. Glad to see that their focus has changed from a closer to a middle reliever, and, presumably, a rotation upgrade, and to extending Pollock

Here’s a DBacks offseason overview from a big-time fan.
We are covered offensively, but may look to upgrade our pitching staff by including Lamb, Owings, and one of Inciarte, Peralta, or Tomàs in trades. We have many mid-range starters and lots of young pitching talent, but no top line guys. And, no sure things are coming up from AAA. Adding a couple 1-2’s make this team a winner, pushing guys like Corbin and De La Rosa into workable 3-4’s. The bullpen will be gutted. We have a few that will return…Ziegler, Hudson, Deldado, and Chafin. There’s a few needs here after that. A true closer makes our pen stellar. It pushes Zieg into a much needed shut down 7th/8th guy and keeps all the other overworked arms healthy and ready.

I’m also a Diamondback fan. I’m ok with Ziegler as a closer. I like Hudson, Chafin, Delgado, but agree they need to add one more experienced arm. I also liked Silvino Bracho, and would like to see if he can make the team out of sorting training. As for position players, I wouldn’t mind exploring deals for Lamb or Inciarte for starting pitching, but not sure how much value they could really get for them. I like Peralta, would prefer that he stays, and all indications are that Tomas comes back as well

Btw, I’m not suggesting that Lamb or Inciarte are poor players, but that I can’t see anyone giving up a TOR type pitcher for a corner infielder with below average power, or a high average, decent OBP, low power corner outfielder
