The Diamondbacks opted to spend their Rule 5 Draft pick for relief help as they selected the 27-year-old Tyler Jones from the New York Yankee’s minor league system. He’s got good size for a reliever, listed at 6’4” 240 by the Trenton Thunder’s roster. Jones is coming off a strong AA campaign where he went 6-2 with a 2.17 ERA (1.50 FIP), 1.23 WHIP, and a 67/11 K/BB in 45 2⁄3 innings for the Trenton Thunder. His overall numbers in AA are a 2.61 ERA (1.88 FIP), a 116/29 K/BB in 89 2⁄3 innings the last two seasons.
