With the bullpen in shambles, help may be on the way for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
In what was a revolving door with several relievers making multiple-visits to Chase Field this past season, one of the priorities of Mike Hazen, the new general manager and his yet-to-be-named field manager, is to solidify the pitching staff. This includes having five reliable starters and a bullpen which tends not to implode nearly every night.
With Hazen looking for production out of the pen, he could search no further than the Diamondbacks’ Salt River training facility. Here in the Arizona Fall League, left-hander reliever Jared Miller, named as one of two Arizona prospects to the league’s All-Star game this Saturday in Surprise Stadium, has emerged with a legitimate chance to improve the bullpen.
