[edit] 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 was up and down from the minors to the majors in the 2006 season with the Rockies. He was claimed off waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers on October 13, 2006.
[edit] Career Transactions
- Traded by the Arizona Diamondbacks, with Jack Cust to the Colorado Rockies on January 7, 2002, for Mike Myers.
- Claimed off of waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers on October 13, 2006.
