Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson has no intention of moving the struggling Josh Collmenter back to the bullpen.
Collmenter has now lost four straight starts after Friday's setback and has given up at least five runs three times over that span. "It doesn't matter; I don't care what people think," Gibson said. "We're going to try to get him on track (as a starter)." Collmenter lacks a consistent third pitch and is hard to hit against the first time you see him with that funky delivery, making him better suited for the pen. That's likely where he'll end up in the long-term, but he's probably earned a bit longer leash, so we don't blame the D'Backs for sticking with him for now.
