I like this trade for both teams. El Duque comes back to NY where his competitive juices will flow, Jorge Julio helps a bullpen that's had the most innings in MLB this year (or close to it).
Dbacks will need to plug in an end of the rotation starter, Kevin Jarvis isn't the answer, but they've got some young arms that might help.
Duque does do a nice job of pitching in New York and he should get better run support with the Mets lineup. Plus Arizona like mentioned earlier, their bullpen sees alot of innings and Julio is a reliant option.

If Russ Ortiz, the former 20 game winner, can get his s*** together, the D-Backs rotation will be fairly decent.
Ortiz was pitching injured, when he gets back he should be no better than how El Duque was doing for them.
