SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- With the D-backs leaning toward carrying 12 pitchers rather than the 13 they were essentially forced to carry last season, it appears there is just one opening in the bullpen.
Brad Ziegler, Daniel Hudson, Tyler Clippard, Andrew Chafin, Randall Delgado and Josh Collmenter have spots locked up, leaving a real battle for the final one.
Of those with roster spots locked up, only Chafin is left-handed, which could factor into who wins the final spot, if D-backs manager Chip Hale decides he wants two lefties in the bullpen.
