The Diamondbacks made news last night, the very last day teams could acquire a player to be eligible to play post-season, by acquiring short-stop and former World-Series hero David Eckstein from the Toronto Blue Jays. In return, Toronto received a good looking prospect by the name of Chad Beck.
Eckstein will get most of the time at second-base, replacing super-sub Augie Ojeda. He gives Arizona a legitimate speed threat and lead-off hitter. I must give the NL West edge to the D-Backs, once again acquiring a key piece that they needed and not giving up too much.
