Love Arroyo as a #4 starter. Can't tell you enough how having your #4 be a guy who you know will take the mound every 5 days and eat up innings more often than not. Yeah, he will throw some stinkers because HE'S A #4 STARTER but he will also have that 6 week run where he pitches better than 3 others in the rotation and keeps the team from hitting long losing streaks. The fact that they got him for this price when the going rate for a pitcher of his type has been 5/$55 is great market timing by the dbacks.
