From AZ perspective
The decision to bring in Cruz might strike some as odd--is there really that
much sense to having Cruz and Luis Vizcaino?--but I like it. Whereas Halsey
might never have had a decisive advantage over Claudio Vargas in the fight for
the fifth spot, and neither Halsey nor Vargas would probably ever perform well
enough to push past Russ Ortiz on the rotation depth chart, Cruz could.
However, if he doesn't get that opportunity, he might still be able to become
a dominant reliever, something that, as talented a group as the Snakes seem to
be putting together in their pen, you can never quite have too many of. Halsey
wasn't going to be any of those things, not now, not ever, so this is a slam-
dunk good deal for Josh Byrnes and company.
