Initial Rotation Announced

[Matt L]

1) Collmenter
2) De La Rosa
3) Hellickson
4) Bradley
5) Anderson

Hmmmm, we'll see what happens. I'd love to see Collmenter back in his long relief spot

Me too. I assume it will happen at some point this season.

I think it is clear I love the underdog Collmenter, but what the H, start Bradley on opening day!

 

[BC867]

Wow. Gonna be hard to keep him off the team. I see him snagging a spot in the pen, and eventually moving to the rotation when De La Rosa or Anderson struggle. I think Cahill has a longer leash than those two, based pretty much solely on his salary. Look how long it took them To make a move last year

That was last year.

 

[unseenaz]

That was last year.

right.. thanks..?

lmao.

anyways, looks like he's about to be traded to atlanta.

 

[frankeegee1]

I think the Cahill trade just made room for Bradley

 

[TJ]

Well, since Parker hasn't thrown any live pitches since his surgery,

I'll take the upside of Parker over the disappointment of Cahill.

 

[Dback Jon]

1) Collmenter
2) De La Rosa
3) Hellickson
4) Cahill
5) Anderson

I'll go with the glass being half full and say that De La Rosa, Hellickson, and Cahill are being provided the opportunity to excel.

So who is replacing Cahill?

Looks that way

With the deal, the D-backs have saved $5.5 million of the $12 million owed to Cahill in 2015, the final year of his contract, and it also opens a spot in the rotation for top prospect Archie Bradley, who has pitched well this spring.




Manager Chip Hale had previously named Cahill one of the five starters, but he admitted early Thursday that Bradley had made them rethink their plans.

Give the kid his shot... While he wasn't Cy Young worthy this spring, he did pitch well enough to earn that #5 slot...

 

[AZ Native]

He may be our ace before long.

 

[splitsecond]

I still think Anderson is going to end up being a real gem. Just needs to be able to increase his pitch count a bit and his control deeper into games.
