For relievers of Arizona Diamondbacks, perhaps this was a case of too little, too late.
With the season nearly in the rear view mirror, this is the part of the campaign where manager Chip Hale said all of his pitchers are surveyed under a microscope. Roles for next season are to be determined as well as who stays and who goes.
Because two-thirds of the back end of the bullpen was traded in mid-season, Hale juggled his relievers and began to rely on Jake Barrett and Enrique Burgos in flipped roles as the closer and set-up.
