Rather than rely on those players to repeat their unexpected performances, the D-backs made additions this offseason to account for possible regression to the norm. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1157849.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1157849.html Sun, 12 Feb 2012 00:03:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks Josh Collmenter surrendered just two hits in seven innings and Paul Goldschmidt drove in five runs in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 8-1 thrashing of the Milwaukee Brewers Tuesday night. The Game 3 victory also featured the genesis of a new celebratory icon for the D-backs. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1114063.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1114063.html Wed, 05 Oct 2011 14:45:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Arizona Diamondbacks lost to the Milwaukee Brewers 4-1 in Game One of the NLDS due to being overly aggressive on both sides of the ball. Had manager Kirk Gibson played things a little differently, that score might have been reversed. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1112778.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1112778.html Sat, 01 Oct 2011 23:30:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Milwaukee Brewers won their first division title in 29 years. The Arizona Diamondbacks had a .424 winning percentage in their last 465 games before winning a division title this season. Clearly, this is a matchup of two of the more unlikely division champs in the annals of baseball. So who the heck comes out on top? http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1112691.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1112691.html Sat, 01 Oct 2011 17:52:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks Starting pitchers are perhaps the biggest factor in whether a team succeeds in the postseason. For that reason, some of the most detailed scouting reports are compiled on these opposing starters. Here’s a look at what playoff opponents will see from Diamondbacks' starter, Ian Kennedy. http://sbb.scout.com/2/1112545.html 2047 Frankie Piliere http://sbb.scout.com/2/1112545.html Sat, 01 Oct 2011 03:28:00 GMT 0 381 Scouting Baseball sbb With the playoffs approaching, every club heading for October baseball is neck deep in scouting reports on potential opponents. Here are Scout.com, we want you to be just as prepared for postseason baseball.

Here’s a look at the Arizona Diamondbacks. http://sbb.scout.com/2/1112376.html 2047 Frankie Piliere http://sbb.scout.com/2/1112376.html Fri, 30 Sep 2011 17:16:00 GMT 0 381 Scouting Baseball sbb Having the NL West all but sewn up, the Arizona Diamondbacks can begin to think about how they would stack up in postseason play. With a pitching rotation that features impressive right-handers Ian Kennedy and Daniel Hudson, the D-backs can feel good about their chances in any short series, much as they could when they boasted the dominant duo of Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling one decade ago. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1106328.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1106328.html Tue, 13 Sep 2011 23:26:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Arizona Diamondbacks traded Kelly Johnson to the Blue Jays for Aaron Hill and John McDonald in a swap of infielders who are struggling to hit the ball. Arizona figures to improve their defense significantly, while Toronto hopes to receive a supplemental draft pick when Johnson hits free agency. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1098883.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1098883.html Wed, 24 Aug 2011 16:39:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks After winning his major league debut a month ago, soft-tossing right-hander Josh Collmenter also won his first major league start on Saturday. Collmenter made history in that start and could be just what the doctor order to bolster an Arizona Diamondbacks rotation that has struggled all year. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1072474.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1072474.html Mon, 16 May 2011 17:59:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks Aaron Heilman, who has been sidelined with shoulder inflammation since April 14, is close to returning to the Arizona Diamondbacks. With the team's bullpen in far better shape than it was a year ago, there is no obvious candidate to demote to Triple-A upon his return, however. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1069198.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1069198.html Mon, 02 May 2011 19:02:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Arizona Diamondbacks' roster and roles are becoming more defined as we near the end of spring training, but there are still several battles that are going to come down to the wire. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1057363.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1057363.html Sat, 19 Mar 2011 22:50:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks One of the most important factors for the 2011 Arizona Diamondbacks will be the performance of young right-handers Ian Kennedy, Barry Enright, and Daniel Hudson. Oh, and a bullpen that isn't infamously bad might help matters as well. Our sneak peek of the 2011 Bill James Handbook continues. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1016678.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1016678.html Fri, 29 Oct 2010 18:40:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Arizona Diamondbacks suffered through their second consecutive fifth-place finish in the NL West, the first time that has happened in franchise history, and the poor start cost general manager Josh Byrnes and manager A.J. 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 Allen's game-winning grand slam Wednesday made the headlines, but more important to the future of the Arizona Diamondbacks was Allen's stellar defensive play in left field. Should the 240-pound career first baseman stick there, it would allow him to be in the same lineup as Adam LaRoche next year and keep a path clear for a bevy of first base prospects in the minor leagues. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/998277.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/998277.html Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:41:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks Barry Enright, Daniel Hudson, and Ian Kennedy appear to be as good a trio of young right-handed pitchers as there are on any Major League Baseball team. Yet the Arizona Diamondbacks want to see them pitch a little more before anointing them as the next Mark Prior, Kerry Wood, and Carlos Zambrano. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/996353.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/996353.html Fri, 27 Aug 2010 16:26:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks Afraid to turn to an ineffective bullpen, Arizona Diamondbacks manager A.J. Hinch has ridden his starters hard. The D-backs' four primary starters are all among the league leaders in both pitches and innings pitched, increasing their risk of wearing down in the second half. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/979818.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/979818.html Thu, 24 Jun 2010 18:56:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks After Edwin Jackson defeated his old team Saturday to snap a 14-game road losing streak for the Arizona Diamondbacks, the pitcher he got traded for - Max Scherzer - countered Jackson Sunday by dominating the D-backs in a 3-1 Tigers victory. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/978922.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/978922.html Mon, 21 Jun 2010 14:13:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks Tuesday's trade of Conor Jackson for reliever Sam Demel signaled an upcoming flurry of trades by the Arizona Diamondbacks. The organization is looking to reduce payroll, strengthen their bullpen, and give some of their younger players a look. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/977803.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/977803.html Wed, 16 Jun 2010 15:15:00 GMT 0 247 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
