Both are expected to test the free agent market. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1025827.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1025827.html Sat, 27 Nov 2010 03:59:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired left-handed pitcher Zach Duke from the Pittsburgh Pirates for a player to be named later. Duke is a sinkerballer who figures to be a good fit for Chase Field, provided the Diamondbacks' defense improves over recent years. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1025391.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1025391.html Thu, 25 Nov 2010 06:52:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Bill James Handbook 2011 will be available on November first and includes statistical projections for nearly 900 players.

Hinch their jobs in a July 1 shakeup. A full review of the season follows. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1009231.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1009231.html Wed, 06 Oct 2010 01:24:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks Brandon Webb appears likely to return to the Diamondbacks in time for a few September outings from the bullpen, but his long-term future with the only organization he has known appears tenuous. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/997854.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/997854.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:01:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Arizona Diamondbacks have noted the success of the Colorado Rockies since they took steps to make Coors Field more pitcher-friendly as well as the success of other low-payroll teams who have succeeded in pitcher's parks such as the San Diego Padres and Oakland A's. They may try to emulate Colorado by installing a humidor of their own and even raising their fences at Chase Field. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/997609.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/997609.html Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:35:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks With about two weeks to go until the August 31 waiver trade deadline, Adam LaRoche has upped his trade value by once again getting hot in the second half of the season. The Chicago White Sox, Texas Rangers, Atlanta Braves, LA Angels, and Tampa Bay Rays are among the teams who may want to deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the left-handed first baseman. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/993025.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/993025.html Mon, 16 Aug 2010 19:29:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Diamondbacks became the seventh team in major league history to hit four consecutive home runs when Adam LaRoche, Miguel Montero, Mark Reynolds and Stephen Drew connected off right-hander David Bush with one out in the fourth inning of an 8-2 victory at Milwaukee. The D-backs earned their third straight win in the four-game series. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/991840.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/991840.html Thu, 12 Aug 2010 18:23:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks Daniel Hudson, the best pitcheracquired by the Arizona Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, showed why he is such a highly-regarded prospect by dominating the new York Mets lineup in a 14-1 rout Sunday. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/988472.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/988472.html Mon, 02 Aug 2010 19:55:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Arizona Diamondbacks have already dealt away their highest-profile trading chip in Dan Haren, but there are more players on the roster who are likely to depart soon. We lay odds on the likelihood of the leading candidates' departure from the organization and speculate on where they might land. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/987015.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/987015.html Wed, 28 Jul 2010 06:22:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks Brandon Webb changed his rehab routine on Friday and is aiming at an August 15th return to action. We also have the latest on Leo Rosales, Kris Benson, and Adam Laroche. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/984550.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/984550.html Sat, 17 Jul 2010 21:35:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks Ian Kennedy, who had not won in 17 major league appearances since his debut with the Yankees on Sept. 1, 2007, recorded his first Diamondbacks victory in a 13-5 decision over the Cubs in blustery Wrigley Field. He showed confidence and command of his four-pitch repertoire. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/966900.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/966900.html Fri, 30 Apr 2010 15:24:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks With Miguel Montero slated to miss at least another month and Adam LaRoche playing gimpy, the Arizona Diamondbacks offense took another blow with Conor Jackson landing on the 15-day disabled list. Yet rather than replace Jackson with a big Triple-A bat such as Brandon Allen or Cole Gillespie, the D-backs added a 13th pitcher to the roster. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/963938.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/963938.html Tue, 20 Apr 2010 14:13:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Arizona Diamondbacks are the most improved team in the NL West because of their offense and the eventual return of Brandon Webb, but with only 70 wins last year, have they improved enough to be a playoff team in 2010? http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/959548.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/959548.html Sun, 04 Apr 2010 19:25:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks Although the Arizona Diamondbacks pitching staff received a much more thorough overhaul than their lineup did this winter, it has become evident that their offense will improve more than their pitching will from a disappointing 2009 season on both sides of the ball. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/957472.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/957472.html Sat, 27 Mar 2010 16:14:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks For a team that won 70 games last year, the D-backs had a lot of impact fantasy players. If your squad had Dan Haren, Justin Upton, Mark Reynolds, Miguel Montero, and Chad Qualls, you probably had a pretty solid 2009 season. On the other hand, if you drafted Brandon Webb in the third round, you may not have been able to recover from his season-ending injury. What will 2010 bring? http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/955073.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/955073.html Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:44:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks With pitchers and catchers one week away from reporting for spring training, we examine the state of the Arizona Diamondbacks. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/946254.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/946254.html Sun, 14 Feb 2010 01:09:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks New Diamondbacks first baseman Adam LaRoche turned down more money and years with the San Francisco Giants earlier this winter before signing with Arizona yesterday. What may not have been a wise move for LaRoche helped solidify the Diamondbacks offense and conclude the club's offseason overhaul. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/938298.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/938298.html Sat, 16 Jan 2010 17:04:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to terms with first baseman Adam LaRoche on a one-year contract for 2010, with a mutual option for 2011. LaRoche will receive $4.5 million this year and has a mutual option clause for $7.5 million in 2011 with a $1.5 million buyout. The buyout increases to $9.5 million if LaRoche is traded. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/938211.html 2047 FutureBacks Staff http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/938211.html Sat, 16 Jan 2010 03:31:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Braves have to gauge how long it might be before Freddie Freeman takes over at first base. http://braves.scout.com/2/920019.html 2047 Bill Shanks http://braves.scout.com/2/920019.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:40:00 GMT 1 248 Atlanta braves
