In a bit of a pitching pickle, the Arizona Diamondbacks reached into the minors and tabbed lefty pitching prospect Anthony Banda to make his MLB debut Saturday. Just 23 years old, the 2012 10th round pick would seem to be an odd choice given the fact he has struggled mightily at Triple-A this season. Battling ill control from the start, Banda goes into his debut with a Triple-A ERA of 5.08 and a BB/9 rate of 3.83. Needless to say, you don't need to exactly run out and pick Banda up for fantasy baseball purposes. While Banda does haev a decent 8.29 K/9 rate, he is not much to be concerned with at this stage of things.
