Zach Duke: Traded to Diamondbacks

Zach Duke is a solid number five starter on a good major league roster and a good pickup for the Diamondbacks. He will provide depth for the starting rotation, but I do not think he should start the season in the rotation. The Diamondbacks have other talent that should have the first opportunities to be in the rotation.

Duke can be a productive member from the bullpen. Minimizing his exposure to major league hitters by pitching one or two innings at a time can allow Duke to thrive as a lefty reliever. Overall, the Diamondbacks have a good pitching staff which now has more depth.
