The Diamondbacks wound up not making any major moves at baseball's July trading deadline, instead choosing to get some veteran leadership for their core of young players through free agency. So they have gone out and picked up
Jeff Cirillo on waivers from Minnesota, and in a "Back to the Future" move, some guy named
Byung-Hyun Kim from the Marlins.
Remember him, Arizona?
Kim, 28, spent his first four-plus major league seasons in Arizona, mostly as a reliever. He saved 70 games from 1999-2002 in Arizona. Kim was the closer for the Diamondbacks in their World Series championship season of 2001, surrendering two memorable game-blowing home runs to New York in Yankee Stadium before Arizona returned home to win the final two games.
Kim returns as a starter and not a closer, so the shudders of Snake fans will be kept to a minimum. To ensure that, we've chosen to show Kim in happier Arizona times, receiving his World Series ring ... you know, the one he almost single handedly gave away to the Yankees. Hopefully, not too much blood will gush when the old wounds of Diamondback fans re-open.
