    D'Backs DBacks Get Rauch!

    Diamondbacks acquired RHP Jon Rauch from the Nationals for 2B Emilio Bonifacio.
    The Diamondbacks get help for their bullpen, but it comes at a steep price: Bonifacio was probably one of their top ten prospects entering the season. He's hitting .302/.348/.387 at Triple-A this season, but is an above-average defender with plenty of speed. Rauch, however, will be under Arizona's control for two more seasons. Luis Ayala, Saul Rivera, and Joel Hanrahan are all candidates to replace Rauch in Washington, with Saul Rivera looking like he might get the first shot with Hanrahan snaring the job down the line.
    Great deal for both teams!! Nats get a second baseman for the future and the Backs get someone to help Lyon or even take over the closer's role from Lyon. Dbacks needed to inject some life in this team and they just did it. Rauch should help a lot but they still need offense.

    You have to be ****in shitting me! This is the Dfags' version of getting Jason Schmidt for Ryan Vogelsong and Armando Rios, only that Nationals are getting just Rios. Mother****ers, the baseball gods hate the Dodgers.

    That would be fun to watch Johnson pitch eight innings and Rauch come in to close.

    Agh, I was thinking third on the DBacks but you did write NL West. I'm an idiot.

    Nice pickup. Rauch is having a good year.

    Too bad the Dodgers got rid of mofo's favorite 6'10 pitcher, then we'd have 4 in the NL West.
