The Diamondbacks have been active actors on the open market when it comes to making transactions over the last several years. They’ve signed their share of players and made more than their share of trades, one might argue. Free agent signings are expensive, and there’s been plenty of recent data across baseball (including right on Arizona’s roster) that teams are …
Continue Reading →It seems like only yesterday (because it was) that I was writing about how the Diamondbacks could have used Matt Davidson to be their power bat in the outfield rather than flipping Eaton and Skaggs for Mark Trumbo. As it turns out, the Diamondbacks had been getting Davidson outfield reps in winter instructs and I was going to talk …
Continue Reading →In baseball, nothing speaks more than the almighty dollar. Don’t believe me? Run a correlation between dollars and wins. In the long term, the money almost always wins out. The Diamondbacks don’t have a lot of money, but they do have another form of currency: prospects.
While working on our offseason plan for the team, which will be released early …

Continue Reading →Major League Baseball rosters expand on September 1, enabling teams to carry up to 40 players, provided they are on the 40-man roster. If you’re rusty on the mechanics of the 40-man and protecting players from the winter Rule V Draft, check out this mlb.com summary. In terms of guessing at what Arizona might do this year, the main …
Continue Reading →The Diamondbacks were dealt a very significant, and perhaps fatal blow on Sunday when Cody Ross dislocated his hip. On a personal level, I feel terrible for the guy as he’s truly been one of the friendliest and most entertaining individuals on the team since he joined the club over the winter. The injury will definitely cause him to …
Continue Reading →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 …
Continue Reading →Arizona’s main need right now is in the bullpen. Before Sunday’s game, GM Kevin Towers reiterated that adding another LHP to Tony Sipp was front office’s main priority right now. Given the continued recent struggles of David Hernandez (0.2 IP, 2 H, 2 BB, 3 runs, 2 of them earned), perhaps the search should include some RHP targets as …
Continue Reading →Like many teams, Arizona is monitoring the market for potential upgrades via trade. Given the recent performance of the rotation and the imminent return of Trevor Cahill and Brandon McCarthy, the Dbacks really do not have a need for a starting pitcher. There are very few starters available who might represent an upgrade anyway. Likewise, the Dbacks do not …
Continue Reading →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.
AAA:
Matt Davidson.…
Continue Reading →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 …
