I’m going to be honest and say I was quite surprised to discover that Ruiz was among our top seven relievers this season, in terms of appearances, and that he was on the 26-man roster for more than half the season. I thought he was one of those bullpen arms who got rotated in and out, getting a couple of weeks at most. But he even started a game for the D-backs this season, in Cincinnati, which is more than can be said for, oh, Tyler Gilbert. You’d be forgiven why wondering why Arizona bothered, Ruiz getting off to a truly wretched start to the year on the White Sox.
