Brad Ziegler

People thought the bullpen would be a strength for the Diamondbacks in 2013, yet there have been some noticeable miscues and blown opportunities. We look to see if overuse might be contributing to the malaise.

Hello again, NL West. Remember us? Seems like a while. Sure we'll be heartily sick of you by the end of the season, after we've seen you 70-80 times, but right now, you're relatively fresh and interesting. And, in this case, quite cold.

The Texas Rangers released first baseman/outfielder Brandon Allen from his minor league contract.

The game at Tempe Diablo this afternoon proved a severe damp squid [I like that typo and am leaving it where it lies], lasting only into the third inning before being called due to extremely inclement weather. Team USA also plays Mexico at Chase.

They're coming thick and fast now. Barely was the ink dry on Ian Kennedy's deal than Brad Ziegler followed suit, signing a deal with the Diamondbacks for 2013.

Brad Ziegler, acquired from Oakland at the trade deadline, was an important piece of the 2011 Diamondbacks bullpen. We look back at his year and grade his performance.

Arizona Diamondbacks and submarine pitcher Brad Ziegler have agreed to a deal and thus avoided arbitration.

New Diamondbacks reliever Brad Ziegler talks about his adjustment coming to Arizona which included a difference of opinion with the coaching staff that eventually got resolved.

Arizona starts a three-game series in San Francisco tonight, while the trade deadline saw the Diamondbacks engage in some late activity to improve their pitching. It's these two topics that dominate this week's round-table discussion.
