In an MLB debut that no one was paying attention to, the Diamondbacks went with Zack Godley to take the hill against the visiting Brewers.  There were very few expectations for the converted starter, but he went a dazzling 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 4 Hits, 0 BBs, 7 Ks.  I took a moment to watch some of his start and here's the lowdown:  He throws a ton of Cutters that he was effectively locating off the plate for batters to chase, while tossing a solid Curveball as well.  He's the kind of guy that can excel like last night if he's spotting up and nibbling effectively, but the moment that crumbles, you'll see a handful of walks with a bunch of runs scored.  I don't blame you for picking him up on a whim, but I'm thinking this is along the lines of Carlos Frias instead of Mike Bolsinger.
