Well, those Phoenix Speed Devils are at it again- stockpiling free agent relief pitchers in the off-season.
So far this off-season they have signed 28-year old Guillermo Cruz, who has pitched for Washington the past 3 seasons and 32-year old Barry Guy, who has spent his entire career with the L.A. Spinners until now.
They both look like better relief pitcher signings than the team has made the past few years, but the power-hitting Speed Devils, who finished in 8th place and have been disappointing for years, will need to do much more than just shore up the bullpen if they wish to contend.
(Granted, several WPK insiders have indicated that the team has been actively engaged in the bidding war for Japanese starting pitcher Sadahige Kawaski. Phoenix, along with the Denver Brewers and Charlotte Sting, appear to be one of the main contenders to engage the talented right-handers services. At this point though most insiders consider the Brewers the front-runners to get Kawaski.)
