I wouldn't be so excited if I were you. Dookie sucks balls and he's so old that Carl Everett denies his existance. He's averaging 5 IP/GS so he'll burn the pen and he has an ERA over 6 despite AZ's stellar IF that eats up ground balls and turns DPs at amazing rates.
The DBacks never wanted dookie in the first place. He was a requirement from the White Sox in the Vazquez trade as an attempt to bring the salaries closer together. They gave him up to the first team that offered them a living, breathing player for him. Since Minaya is used to getting bent over in trades (Kazmir?)
Juilio has been on a roll in May (~1.85 ERA). He throws really hard and doesn't make that much. If he ends up sucking, the DBacks DFA him and still save money.
