[7/22] Apparently brigandage is alive and well in the Southwest, because Bonifacio's basically a bit of roster pyrite who wouldn't dupe even a whacked-out gold bug like Francisco Coronado. Getting a top 25-caliber reliever for nothing you'll miss is something to brag about, but getting one that is under contract at under-market pricing for two more years to come ($2 million next year, and a $2.9 million club option for 2010) makes this exchange simply ridiculous, or a monumental favor by the Nats to the Snakes, courtesy of former Snake exec and current Nationals assistant GM Mike Rizzo. Finally, there's the especially fun angle that the 6'11" Rauch will inevitably get to relieve Randy Johnson, providing the sort of assist you might have more readily expected between Hakeem Olajuwon and Ralph Sampson. In general, Rauch looks like the perfect reliever to add—experienced as a closer and as a set-up man, so he's someone you can entrust with any role, with a track record for success but still young enough to offer more of the same, rubber-armed and durable, and able to work multi-inning outings if asked. In a pen that lacks an established closer, Rauch gives them the freedom to continue to employ Lyon as the saves guy while having a reliever perfectly suited to preserve them, or he allows them to bump Lyon back to that role. The problem is that I don't think it's quite that simple. While adding Rauch is a good thing, the danger is that he's a pretty extreme fly-ball pitcher, and while that's worked for him in RFK and Nationals Stadium, he's headed for an air-conditioned bandbox that won't do him many favors. Add in that the team has a couple of road series in Denver and a trip to Houston to look forward to, and I'd think that if anything the absence of a famous person with lots of saves to their credit would encourage the D'backs to think in terms of establishing a bullpen by committee, and picking their spots with their four very different "name" relievers: Chad Qualls, Brandon Lyon, Tony Pena, and now Rauch. --
