A nice depth piece with a little offensive upside. Not a bad move

Literally everyone on the above list of lefty corner options on the Dbacks is a better baseball player. Not sure if he makes it to Opening Day barring injury.

if you combined Oswaldo and Orlando arcia together that would be really good Orlando has everything but Power and Oswaldo has nothing but power
Travis’ Wood
Lol so true

Not true. Oswaldo has a mohawk and power.

Got to be a minors deal

I wonder how many players have played for 4 major league clubs and made at least one appearance in a year before. It can’t be many.

Jose Bautista
Monkey’s Uncle
John McDonald did it a few years ago. Kingman and Bautista are the other 2 I can think of off hand.
Catch tha Taste
Reminds me of Kyle Blanks… tones of power, never given the opportunity to totally develop in the majors as a ball player (although for Blanks it was because of injuries). Hope he gets a chance with the DBacks.

The next Bautista

Was excited when Padres picked him up last year but that excitement didn’t last long. Terrible defensive outfielder that seemed to have limited athletic ability. I couldn’t figure out how this was the guy that prospect books raved about a few years ago.

Was the exact same thing here in Tampa. Was excited when we brought him in, but after watching him play… woof
D-Backs fans (or Reno Aces fans I guess) – expect about 1-2 plays a game where you just sit there and think “what is this guy doing”

He’d be Babe Ruth if everyone had to throw 88 down the middle.
bravesfan1998
He’s actually pretty damn good if you have watched him, he hits bullets every at bat an wasn’t a starter which is why his average is like that he could hit 30 plus homers in telling you now

Arcia was never given a real chance to develop as a Twin because Molitor did not like him. He had two good seasons under Gardenhire and with Gardenhire joining the Diamond Backs as bench coach, Arcia will have a supporter and hopefully get back his confidence. He hits the ball a ton and is a great teammate. Hope to see him back in the majors where he belongs.
