A couple of small notes to get you caught up on the D-backs:
Over the weekend, the team outrighted pitchers Clay Zavada and Leo Rosales, which removed the pair from the 40-man roster.
Zavada did not make the team out of Spring Training last year and then underwent Tommy John surgery, which caused him to miss the rest of the season. The team will try and bring him back on a Minor League contract.
Rosales missed over three months in 2010 due to a stress fracture in his foot that required surgery. The right-hander compiled a 7.16 ERA this year.
In other news, the D-backs announced a couple of scouting hires today.
Bill Bryk and Todd Greene will join the staff as Major League scouts. In addition they will also likely be charged with keeping an eye on Arizona’s farm teams as well.
Bryk is a longtime associate of Towers and was the special assistant to the general manager/Major League scout in San Diego.
Greene, a former big league catcher, was most recently a Major League scout for the Mariners.
