Blogs and Articles Roundup: Aug 12, 2013

On August 12, 2013 By

For a five-game week (off days on Monday and Thursday), the last several days have been unusually tumultuous for the Diamondbacks.  In a two game series against Tampa Bay, the offense broke out; but although Kirk Gibson’s squad carried the same lineup and offensive success through Friday, Saturday and Sunday were not banner days for the team.  On Saturday, David …

On July 23, 2013 By

In what I intend to make a weekly series, I will take a look today at the top prospects and performers in the Dbacks organization.  Because of the All-Star breaks in AA and AAA last week and because there are no other posts to overlap with at this point, I’m going to monitor July stats and performances.

Both ESPN and Baseball America have now published midseason prospect rankings, and the Diamondbacks’ Archie Bradley features prominently in both.  On Baseball America’s version, Bradley was the top pitching prospect at 6th overall.  ESPN’s Keith Law also had Bradley as the top pitcher, listing him 8th and noting that since ranking Bradley 29th before the season, the pitcher …
