    Where Would You Hit Overbay/Grace/Williams in theLineup?

    Curt definitely has a reputation for being a "clutch" pitcher, which is born out with his playoffs record for those who want to quantify it.... Most just sense that he elevates his game during those times. Bob Gibson also had a reputation for being a "clutch pitcher"--the most often cited...

    Our young pitchers

    Don't get your hopes too high yet. Who said that the D'backs operate on pure logic? Having young arms and prospects doesn't mean that the club doesn't ALSO have a tradition of keeping aging stars as well...

    Bullpen questions

    From article on D'backs website: Given past history of organization (remember the catcher quandry of 2002), Jackson will remain on the squad. Koplove fairly sure to remain on roster due to his success for most of last year while Prinz would be candidate to be shuttling back and forth from...

    Could the All-Star game mean something?

    Re: Bud's Dud Plan That can happen by the old rules.... This argument is irrelevant. It may make the game a bit more competitive, return to flavor of the older days when starters stayed in a few more innings. I don't see reason for MLB to panic because of the tie--the game really is and...
