My daughter moved to AZ. I plan to catch a few Dbacks games this season
Lucky the DBacks play in a dome doing the Summer in Phoenix. I lived there and the Summers are brutal! Sunny everyday with temps in the 100's. If you have never been there doing the Summer, you will be in for a very hot surprise!
8+ years in bigs and over 10M in earnings. Not bad for a 24th rd draft pick from a college who doesn't have a field.
Was really excited when Dan latched on with the Reds. He had a pretty decent year with them. Was hoping he would stick with them but they either traded him or he signed a deal elsewhere. Still young enough, IMO, that if he can control a couple of his better pitches effectively, he could latch on as perhaps a middle reliever with the right club in the Bigs!! Good luck to Dan in 2022!!
Straily is one of those guys that shows you don't have to throw 98 mph to get people out. He was the Reds' ace the year he was with them, but that isn't saying much since they only won about 70 games that year. I'm hoping he can get enough time in with the majors to get his pension with them if nothing else.
