Baseball career

Astros

Qualls was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2000 Major League Baseball Draft by the Houston Astros. He began his career as a starting pitcher with the Michigan Battle Cats in 2001. He was converted to relief in 2004 while with the New Orleans Zephyrs, and made his major league debut with Astros on July 22. As of the end of the 2010 season, Qualls has not started a game in the major leagues.

Qualls pitched the next three seasons for the Astros. On December 14, 2007, Qualls was dealt to the Arizona Diamondbacks along with Chris Burke and Juan Gutiérrez for José Valverde.

2008

Qualls replaced Brandon Lyon as the closer for the Diamondbacks in mid-September 2008 after Lyon struggled in the second half of the season.

He is one of four pitchers who have pitched in at least 70 games each of the four seasons from 2004–08, the others being Scott Schoeneweis, Bob Howry, and Dan Wheeler.[1]

2009

Qualls was called in to be the closer for the Arizona Diamondbacks for the 2009 season. On August 30, 2009, he suffered a patellar dislocation on the final play of a winning effort against the Houston Astros. He required surgery and missed the rest of the 2009 season.

2010

On July 31, 2010, Qualls was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays for a player to be named later.[2]

2011

Qualls signed with the San Diego Padres for the 2011 season.[3]
