JOSH COLLMENTER RUMORS
Diamondbacks move Collmenter to bullpen, promote Corbin
The Arizona Diamondbacks made a long-anticipated move by sending starter Josh Collmenter to the bullpen. However, instead of replacing him with top prospects Trevor Bauer or Tyler Skaggs, they went with the third best starter down in AA Mobile: Pat Corbin.
Earlier this week, I talked about the possibility of Arizona shifting Collmenter out of the rotation and replacing him with...

Gibson consider bullpen for Collmenter
Ahead of Friday's series opener in Miami, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Josh Collmenter might be shifted to the bullpen instead of making his scheduled start on Monday.

D-backs' Collmenter expanding pitching repertoire
(Eds: Adds details, quotes.) Josh Collmenter baffled hitters last season with his unconventional, over-the-top delivery en route to becoming a vital piece of the Arizona Diamondbacks' NL West championship team.
The concern with a pitcher like Collmenter, who relies on deception, is that once hitters have faced him a few times, they will be able to make adjustments. That'...
