The Arizona Diamondbacks added a right-handed pitcher to their roster Thursday, picking up Aaron Heilman from the Chicago Cubs.

In exchange, they are trading lefty Scott Maine and infielder Ryne White.

"Aaron has been a successful, durable reliever who will add experience and stability to our bullpen," said Arizona's Executive Vice President and General Manager Josh Byrnes.

Heilman, 31, was 4-4 with one save and a 4.11 ERA with 34 walks and 65 strikeouts in 70 relief appearances for the Cubs in 2009.

Heilman is 26-37 with 10 saves and a 4.22 ERA in 375 career games (25 starts) over parts of seven seasons. He has played for the New York Mets (2003-2008) and Cubs (2009).

How appropriate is it that Ryne White is going to Chicago...home team of his namesake.

Personally,

I think he will be used as a specialist to righties more than anything else

If he does well enough in ST, he may get an everyday relief role
