RELIEVERS: NL West—first look at 2014

Arizona started strong and ran into difficulties with injuries to closer J.J. Putz (RHP, ARI), poor-timed failures by replacement Heath Bell (RHP, ARI) and set-up David Hernandez (RHP, ARI) and finally settled on sidewinder Brad Ziegler (RHP, ARI) to save games as the Dodgers surged past. Skills:
