Baseball Career

Closser made his debut midway through the 2004 season. He posted very impressive statistics in his rookie year. J.D. walked into the 2005 season as the starting catcher for the Colorado Rockies. However, his offensive doldrums coupled with his near-complete inability to throw-out potential base stealers cost him. The second half of the 2005 campaign, he lost his starting role to backup catcher Danny Ardoin. Closser now enters the 2006 season with his future in a precarious position.

Career Transactions

Traded by the Arizona Diamondbacks, with Jack Cust to the Colorado Rockies on January 7, 2002, for Mike Myers (baseball player).
