The Arizona Diamondbacks have released Daryle Ward
The Diamondbacks have released 36-year old lefty swinging 1B/OF Daryle Ward. Ward played in 28 games in AA-ball for the D-Backs this year and he was 27 for 85 (.318 avg, .916 OPS) with 12 runs scored, 2 homers, 18 RBIs and 1 stolen base. He also showed impressive plate discipline as he walked 22 times while only whiffing 9 times in AA. I’m a little bit surprised that the D-Backs cut him loose as he could have helped them as a pinch hitter in September.
