Arizona Diamondbacks Hopes for 2017: #2, The bullpen grows up

The 2017 Diamondbacks bullpen is likely to have a very different look from the one was saw on Opening Day last year. That’s particularly the case at the back end, where there were no longer be Tyler Clippard, Daniel Hudson or Brad Ziegler. The team has added Fernando Rodney, and may not be done with new relievers yet, as we discussed on Tuesday. But let’s not forget the in-house options. For in overall pitching, the D-backs were the third-youngest team in all baseball, and much of that was due to the young relievers.
