Jeff Brigham: Diamondbacks Depth or Diamond in the Rough?
The Diamondbacks recent minor league signing of Jeff Brigham has me thinking. Is he just another arm to eat innings or could he be a sneaky good addition to their bullpen? His career has been a rollercoaster – flashes of brilliance mixed with struggles and injuries. He’s bounced around the league, from the Marlins to the Mets to the Twins, never quite finding his footing. Now, at 33, he’s landing in Arizona.
What do you think his chances are of making a real impact? Is his fastball velocity returning enough to make him a viable option? Or are we looking at a journeyman pitcher nearing the end of the line?
The D-backs bullpen could certainly use some solidifying. Could Brigham be part of the solution? Share your thoughts. I'm curious to see what others think of this under-the-radar move. Is this a sign of desperation, a shrewd gamble, or something else entirely?
This also brings up a larger discussion: how much value do these veteran minor league signings truly hold? Are teams better off investing in younger, unproven talent or taking flyers on experienced players hoping for a resurgence? Let the debate begin!
