Jorge Julio -- Bust?
Jorge Julio has been nasty in Florida -- and not the way the Marlins wanted him to be. He has looked absolutely terrible. As noted in previous posts, there are many options for Florida to pitch in the 9th. Owens and Gregg are the too front runners with Owens looking like the better choice of the two right now. Tankersley and Lindstrom could fill in if neither Owens or Gregg jumps on the opportunity. Petit hasn't done anything in Arizona yet but it certainly looks like the Diamondbacks made out like bandits on the deal. Julio will still provide some veteran support in the bullpen and could get another shot in the 9th if he is solid in a setup role and the other options struggle as well.
