    D-Backs Appoint Tony La Russa as Chief Baseball Officer

    Tony LaRussa was siting next to me up in the press box watching Archie Bradley pitch a rookie game last night. As he talked to Bob Gebhard about baseball, raising his heavy hand with one of his many championship rings on it for emphasis, I felt assured that the Dbacks are now in good hands...

    Skaggs & Bauer both start tonight...

    I believe the Skaggs deal is going to hurt us the most. He's going to be real good for a long time i'm afraid. Going back and looking back at the original trade, I can't believe the Angels gave up Skaggs who they had drafted #1 in 2009, Patrick Corbin their #2 pick in that same draft and Joe...

    MLB Draft.. Who do you want Arizona to take?

    So two very weird things happened at the draft today. One, the Dbacks literally took the 3 players I wanted them to take in those positions for their first 3 picks. I think Touki was a great pick. I know they wanted Zimmer, but when Touki fell you had to take him. Has a very good fastball...

    D-Backs Appoint Tony La Russa as Chief Baseball Officer

    So excited about this move. Something had to be done. Who knows what's going down but the one question a lot of people had about who would run things if and when KT got the Ax, has now been answered. Time to clean house! Aznando

    Arroyo and company pitch shut out.

    Tough set of games against the Brewers and back to Chicago to play the White Sox. Winning a series is a big step forward though. Aznando

    Kevin Tower D'Backs era has been a disaster

    We went from a top 5 ranked farm system to a 15th or lower. We went from having 5 top 100 prospects including 3 starting pitchers in AA or higher to having 2 prospects. We went through mostly our Top 10 guys being in AA and AAA to having mostly Low-A and Rookie League dudes who are 3-4 years...

    Kevin Tower D'Backs era has been a disaster

    Maybe decimated is a little strong, but lets take a look at what we had just 2 years ago. 2012 Dbacks Prospects ranked anywhere from #5-#9 in the league depending on who you believe. Top 10: 1. Trever Bauer RHP-Now with the Indians at AAA 3-0 1.40 ERA came up for a start against the Padres...

    Kevin Tower D'Backs era has been a disaster

    I haven't really been around the last few years to comment on much DBacks stuff, but i'm back and I'll probably stay back. I'd love to get back on board and root on the home team. I have a lot of friends who still have season tix at Chase, but it's hard to watch right now. I have some...

    D-backs need more $25 corn dogs

    Not trying to be a fan boy but Greenmachine is killing it on KTAR subbing in for Doug. Congrats bro, and WTG! Aznando

    Sun Devil Baseball 2014

    Went to the first game. Good times, unfortunate loss but good crowd. That kid Burr is going to be a high draft pick in a few years. He's raw but has damn good stuff. He seems to get emotional sometimes and his mechanics start to go and he gets a little wild. He also has a very soft body. As...

    Best place for Dbacks gear

    I had a friend ask me where the best mall or place to get Dbacks gear in the Valley was. Besides the store at Chase. I've been gone for awhile so not sure which mall is the best. I know some of the Just Sports stores are kind of small, but if anyone knows a bigger store or just a mall that...

    ASU New Coach - Todd Graham from Pitt

    Horrible and embarrassing. This is really better than June Jones who is a proven winner? Not that I was too thrilled with him, but he looks like a real good hire at this point. I give it 2-3 years before we are looking for a new HC and probably a new AD.

    2010-2011 season thread

    Real excited about this team. Being in El Paso right now, I only get to see a few games a season, but got to see the game tonight. Hopefully they can keep it going into the playoffs. Aznando

    Looks like Kevin Towers will be the new GM

    Baker a few years ago would make you cringe at the thought of him getting his hands on our young pitching, but seems to have done a good job managing the young pitchers he's got now. A few other names that may be tossed around who are lesser knowns are Ted Simmons who many believe is a legit...

    Looks like Kevin Towers will be the new GM

    Well looks like KT's back in town trying to work out a contract. Should get done in the next couple days. I hope Dipoto lands a GM job somewhere. I think he's going to be a good one. I hear Randy Ready could be a candidate for the manager's job. Don't know a lot about him besides of him as...

    Tickets

    Yea I noticed that when I was looking for seats today. Site is much more user friendly much like stubhub. Speaking of stubhub, I found some really cheap tickets for a preseason game this weekend. I've never seen or even heard about preseason games, are they worth the time and effort to drive...

    AJ Hawk on the market

    AJ Hawk while a good SILB overall is horrible in space. Maybe he can find a team who plays a 4-3 with a poor Mike and he can take that job. With the amount of teams that are using 3x1 and 4 wide personnel you better be able to cover or you won't be playing much. Aznando

    Chargers and Raiders Blacked Out...

    San Diego just seems to be having a hard time selling tickets in general this year. Chargers have been doing really well and they can't sell out. Big series for the Padres last weekend against the Giants when they have been in first place the whole year and the crowds were awful. I don't know...

    2011 Schedule

    Schedule is already out. Looks like they are still trying to work out the opening series which would be in March sometime in Taiwan against the Giants. Not a big fan of these "Opening Series", but I guess its good for the growth of the game. Schedule can be found here...

    How do you feel about these 5?

    I don't think Parker will be ready and I could really do without Saunders in the 5th spot. Maybe someone who may have some upside for cheap. Like a Sergio Mitre or Todd Wellemeyer if healthy or some other minor league free agent. There are alot of guys you can invite to camp and have them...
