From what I've seen this season their bullpen isn't arguably the worst, it is the worst by far.
Turns out that season was a fluke. A remember plenty of talks that "their wins couldn't last" because they had a negative run differential for the season. When they made the playoffs despite such and with such a young offensive core, most figured they were prime for BIG things. The Front Office agreed, trading several good and one great prospect for Haren, re-signed vital cog Byrnes and it seemed to work for 3 months that next season. Then Young and the other "prospects" fell of the face of the earth and so did the Diamondbacks. Injuries to Byrnes and Webb have certainly hurt, as have illness to Jackson, but Arizona once had a bullpen that was the envy of the league with Cruz, Slaten, Meaders, Lyon and Valverde. They were absolutely dominant. Not sure how that completely escaped them, but their bullpen is arguably the worst in the bigs, and maybe in franchise history.

LOL alter egos
LOL jewboys
You can easily make the case. I just haven't seen enough of the other teams. Worst Arizona bullpen I've ever seen, no doubt. And 2004 was terrible.
so june dbacks play all teams above 59% winning %
what will their record be like after this month
Going to the Dodger game on Monday, hope they beat the cardinals
Dodgers are rolling! 1st place.
Dodgers fans are . Period.
I'd say it's unbelievable, but if anyone has been paying attention, its not.
Qualls/Vasquez combine to blow 3-run save vs. Cardinals, as D-backs starter Edwin Jackson gets a no-decision after out-dueling Chris Carpenter.
Similar to www.thisiswhyyouarefat.com, some Diamondbacks fan needs to start a website called... www.thisiswhywesuck.com that features the images of the Diamondbacks bullpen.
lol Chad Qualls, 8.46 era and the D-Bags are doing nothing to address the situation.
Sarver takes tons of for not being able to "live up to Colangelo's legacy (lol calling Colangelo's ownership period of the Suns a legacy)", Ken Kendrick is the real moron who bought a team from Colangelo. Who the gives an 8 year extension to a GM because of 1 good season?
Kendrick didn't even buy the team. He staged a coup and overthrew Colangelo's majority ownership based upon the team's deferred payments/debt.
And yes, He let Rizzo get away (you know, the guy who drafted Zimmerman, Strasburg and Harper after leaving), extended the wrong people too quickly, has hired the wrong replacements and, overall, has contributed to a team that has delusions of competing now, has drafted for immediate impact rather than future potential, and thus has very little future at all. Haren and Upton are the only two players worth a damn, and, honestly, I'm not as enamored with either anymore.
As a Cardinal fan I'll take Dan Haren.
What prospects you got? Where do they rank? We need at least one top-notch pitching prospect, probably a second, and a good 2B or 3B prospect. The star of the package obviously would need to be a pitcher, but the Diamondbacks gave up Brett Anderson and Carlos Gonzalez to get Haren. Not to mention, they effectively traded Carlos Quentin for Haren, since they traded the only asset received for Quentin as part of the Haren deal.
Damn, the Diamondbacks suck at trades. Even the ones that have worked out well have cost them.
twins are looking at chad qualls
LOL
qualls has sucked really bad this month
upton is in a slumb
but I think most if it is he is trying to do to much at each at bat
he knows the bullpen sucks
haren the last 3 starts now seem he is back
I blame qualls not vasquez
yes it was his wildpitch
but qualls has sucked this whole month
qualls is not a closer they need to let A. Heilman close
young is alteast having a much better year
mark and upton need to play more like last year except for the strikeouts
young told upton yesterday (day off)
he felt terrible at the plate
asked him to look at video
he did said he was lunging
young then hit two home runs!
And Young added a third run in the fourth with a solo blast, his third this month.
"I was talking to Justin [Upton] in the first inning, and I felt terrible," Young recalled of facing Cardinals' starter Chris Carpenter. "He went into the video room, looked up something for me, and I tried to make an adjustment as the game went on."
Diamondbacks make first significant trade from their "core", sending Conor Jackson, a former .300 hitter and 1st-round selection, to Oakland for some minor league relief pitcher.
Sold low. Typical. They sold low on Carlos Quentin. They sold low on Scherzer.
Oakland (and Billy Beane) wouldn't bite unless they thought they were getting a bargain.
My condolences.
co jack goe 5-12 the first 4 games for them
oh and aj now is afraid to use his bullpen
his starters are already getting tired their era;s the last inning they work is 3 times what is end
oh and why trade cojack if you do not play the player they got for him
he pitched great the one inning they put him in
so far the co jack trade looks great
