He is the perfect candidate. Team Venezuela finished with a team ERA of 2.86 and a 1.03 WHIP. He helped turn E Rod into an all-star.

You need to convince him to come out of retirement and move his family to Phoenix, but if he were interested it would make so much sense.

I think the whole payroll thing in my opinion can be quite crazy. With this years nl and alcs outside the dodgers having teams that have payrolls that are either in the very middle or lower part of the mlb has me thinking. What is the real reason the dodgers are such a good team. Yes they have a high payroll but guys like will smith, Josue de Paula, Andy pages, max munch all came up through their system. Whatever la’s farm system and ownership is doing is their hiring actual guys that know how to run a team and have a lot of resources that help develop these guys. Cleveland, mileaukee and Tampa bay too. It makes me think why is Arizonas farm system not up to snuff?? Corbin Carroll has been great, pfaadt seemed to get better this season, waldschmidt looks eeh the only real guy I like in Arizonas farm system looks to be the crisantes guy but j can’t even get my hopes up even then because he could either be traded or maybe he just won’t pan out. I really do question what’s up with our farm system when it also comes to the pitching side too. Outside of Brandon Webb who looked like an ace before Tommy John surgeries got to him Arizona hasn’t been able to get a dang good pitcher from their system yet.
