The Bard's Take: How Long, the Leash?

With the Diamondbacks struggling to start the season, and with a full season of results to already in the books, how much longer is the leash for embattled starter, Rubby De La Rosa?

Last season was a rough one for the Diamondbacks for many reasons. One of the saving graces of a lost season is supposed to be the ability to give developing talent a strong evaluation to determine just what the team has in the pipeline. Somewhat painfully for the Diamondbacks, even this was denied to them when it came to evaluating tonight's starting pitcher, Rubby De La Rosa.
