Wow. Cant believe the DBacks just outright released him.

Thats a lot of money

 

 

Well he sucks plain and simple. He won 5 games since he joined AZ and has a 7.00 ERA. He couldn't get outs in starting rotation, or the bullpen, or at Triple A the D-Backs gave him two more starts and was crushed so it was time for him to go. He wasn't going to get it right in AZ he was booed off the field in his last two outings. He is still walks people but now the velocity is down to 86-88 you just can't get away with doing that.

I hope Dave Dombrowski is watching this transpire and realizing that he has a similarly useless and overpaid relief pitcher on his hands *COUGH TODD JONES* that would be in his team's best interests if he got rid of.

 

With the exception of the K and BB totals, Ortiz and Jones have put up nearly identical numbers this year. ERA's in the mid 7's and both are giving up just about a run per inning pitched.
