It’s really sad how bad the bullpen has been.
Our offense has been absolutely fantastic so far, the starting pitching has been okay, and the defense has been a lot better than last year. Something needs to happen. I vote for a DFAing of the H&H boys. It’s sad that JB won’t admit his mistake and do it. Bullpen building is not one of his strong suits.

you can have Jesse Chavez and Jo-Jo Reyes in exchange for Kelly Johnson back

Throw in Heyward and you got a deal. 😉

I say have faith in the bullpen. Trading for a good reliever is too much of a luxury for the D-Backs right now. Although, how much does the Scherzer and Schlereth for Kennedy and Jackson trade suck now? Sure Kennedy has been good, but Jackson has been AWEFUL and we sure could use a power lefty in the pen.

It’s not like Scherzer’s been much better. Jackson has a better xFIP, actually.
And Kennedy’s been great, so for right now, chalk a win in the AZ column.

Howry was a terrible signing. Everyone and their mothers knew that!
Beyond popular belief, Arizona does have some ok arms in the Minors. What the DBacks should do:
Cut Howry. No questions asked. He’s terrible and you know it.
Send Vasquez, Qualls, and Guiterrez down to the Minors (Sure, Vasquez hasn’t been the worst but he could be really good… his command is iffy from time to time… Qualls and Gutierrez have issues dealing with pressure, Minors will give them a bit of a breather), bring up Torra and Buckner, with Torra being put in the 5th Spot for now (move Valdez to the Bullpen), and Buckner in the bullpen. Not to mention, Norberto can come back up to party as well. As for the 4th spot, well, uh…. um… Senor ‘Stache, formerly known as Clay Zavada, needs to get his stuff back together soon.
