at mid-season or sooner if we can buy him on the cheap and the D-Backs go into sell-off mode.

Would seem to be the perfect fit to "bridge" this rotation to the future one that features the #3 pick along with Sale/Quintana...sinkerballer's his best pitch, which would seem suited for USCF...and they're not locked into the contract after 2015 unless he performs well enough to earn his paycheck.
14:$7.7M, 15:$12M, 16:$13M club option ($0.3M buyout), 17:$13.5M club option ($0.5M buyout)
2017 option increases by $0.5M to $14M with top 2 finish in Cy Young vote any year 2011-16
Cahill may void 2016-17 options if he is traded and finishes in top 2 in Cy Young vote any year 2011-16
That said...90% of it depends on what happens with Paulino, Johnson, Beck and the overall position we're in heading into June. I wouldn't want to give away anything of significance, just taking on the financial commitment...but there's obviously a decent-sized risk he wouldn't turn things around, too.
No on Cahill
