Vote: Arizona Diamondbacks Season Preview


Arizona Diamondbacks
2004 Record: 51-111
Key Adds: Royce Clayton, Jose Cruz Jr., Shawn Estes, Troy Glaus, Javier Vazquez, Russ Ortiz
Key Losses: Casey Fossum, Shea Hillenbrand, Randy Johnson, Richie Sexson Manager: Bob Melvin

At least the Diamondbacks have experience with losing an ace. Then again, they could fall back on Randy Johnson after losing Curt Schilling prior to the 2004 season. With the Big Unit in New York, it might seem like rebuilding is the plan in Arizona. But does the offseason's influx of veterans say differently? Should this team try to win now?
  • 1) Where will the Diamondbacks finish in the NL West?
  • 2) Oddsmakers set the over/under on Diamondbacks wins at 74.5. How many games will they win?
  • 3) Who will be Arizona's most effective starting pitcher?
  • 4) How many home runs will Troy Glaus hit for the Diamondbacks this season?
  • 5) What do you think of Arizona's decision to go after so many veteran players in free agency and trades?
  • 6) Which version of Javier Vazquez was more of a fluke?
