RHP Braden Shipley is one of the players that should be given an extended opportunity to prove his worth to the organization.
The Diamondbacks started the 2016 roster with two big moves in the acquisition of Zack Greinke and Shelby Miller. In addition, they made the move to acquire Jean Segura and move him from shortstop to second base. While the Diamondbacks looked good in January, the reality was the roster was top-heavy and needed everything to go right for the team to contend. Evidenced by the team’s poor record, that obviously hasn’t happened. In fact, just about everything that could go wrong has gone wrong and the team is in the same situation they faced in 2014, perhaps even worse than back then.
