4 years agoColorado Rockies reliever Jairo Diaz is having a horrible spring. He's put up a putrid 10.24 ERA, 2.17 WHIP, and 9:4 K/BB ratio over 9 2/3 innings of Cactus League play. The 29-year-old Diaz agreed to a one-year, $1.1 million deal with the Rockies this offseason after spending part of 2020 as the team's closer. He ended up notching four saves last season but that went along with a 7.65 ERA, 2.25 WHIP, and 17:14 K/BB ratio over 20 innings. Even with Scott Oberg (blood clots) likely done for the season Diaz would be fourth in line for save opportunities this year. Daniel Bard is the team's closer while Mychal Givens and Carlos Estevez should serve as setup men and work high-leverage innings. Diaz could eventually be in the mix for saves depending on potential performance and injury issues but he's not worth rostering, even in the deepest of SVH leagues.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller
