Jose Valverde

Valverde may be used in setup role

D'backs manager Bob Melvin is moving Valverde closer to the 9th inning role he relinquished to Jorge Julio.

Based upon his quote, I'd say it is time to buy low on Valverde.

...to have another guy potentially set up, too, maybe we'll move toward that before we potentially move him back into a closing role...

I'm not ready to ignore Valverde's past month or so based on a good two-inning appearance, but I am always willing to scrape the bottom of the relief corps barrel looking for closers on the cheap.
