But it’s hard to be down on the sophomore reliever given what he’s done this year. True to form, he’s bounced back from that rough outing by giving up just one run and one walk over four innings since, striking out four in the process. For the year, Pena’s walk rate is up slightly, but he’s more than compensated for that by being virtually unhittable (35 hits in 51 2/3 innings with a BAA of under .200). Pena is right there among the best set-up men this team has, and at the age of 25, you could easily be looking at a future closer here as we’ve discussed in the past.

He was immediately sent back down to Triple-A Tucson and has not fared well since his demotion, losing two out of three starts and giving up 29 hits in 16 1/3 innings. At this rate, Gonzalez is not helping to set himself up as a starting candidate in Arizona.

Otherwise, if Tony Clark is their trade chip, they're in trouble. Byrnes will definitely fetch something decent, though. Edgar Gonzalez could step up and be a surprise.

If not, I hope they will trade Tony Clark, Byrnes and anyone else not a long term player for some very young pitching. Let's model our team, at least the pitching, after San Diego.
