The Diamondbacks have been patient but a change is needed in the rotation
The Arizona Diamondbacks have been faced with a difficult situation for weeks. What should they do with the struggling Jordan Montgomery?
1.) Further evaluate Montgomery and Ryne Nelson while easing Eduardo Rodriguez and Merrill Kelly back into the rotation mix.In our opinion, it's now time for a change. The Diamondbacks should go back to a five man rotation starting Friday and Jordan Montgomery should work out of the bullpen. Meanwhile Ryne Nelson, who starts Friday in Boston, has become a reliable source of both innings and run prevention. Since June 14th he's made 12 appearances, including 11 starts and one game where he came in behind an opener. He's only had one truly bad game in this stretch, and that dates back to June 26th against the Minnesota Twins .
The Diamondbacks need to put aside any further concerns about Montgomery's contract status, or lack of experience pitching out of the bullpen. The team simply cannot depend on the lineup bailing him out to the degree they have been.
