No, seriously. At six characters, it’s a Diamondbacks’ record, undercutting by one the previous shortest player name - a three-way tie between Jay Bell, Ben Ford and Andy Fox. [And before anybody asks, I dismiss all arguments that J.J. Putz qualifies, because using not one but two initials smacks of cheating. Though I would be most amused if our new player took on the label of J. Jay...] But the deal came out of nowhere, and was almost entirely unexpected. What will Jay’s role be, and how will he fit into the team - both now, and when the disabled list empties out?
