Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, St. Louis Cardinals fans. The Diamondbacks have a lot of complimentary pieces, but not that one guy that the team can anchor around. They have a solid set of starters, but their bullpen is still up in the air. Yep, these are all things that we were saying about the St. Louis Cardinals just last season.
While they have a some decent supporting relievers in Andrew Chafin and Yoshihisa Hirano, the Arizona bullpen struggled in part due to a less talented veteran in Brad Boxberger being the closer because the team felt a young reliever needed more time to acclimate to the league.
