If the Rockies want to see how to turn things around, it would behoove them to look about 900 miles to the southwest. by psaundersdp
That’s where they’ll find the Arizona Diamondbacks, a team that lost 110 games in 2021 but currently leads the National League West with a 46-31 record. The Rockies are stuck in the basement again, 16 1/2 games behind the D-backs.
The team from Phoenix rose from the ashes of truly bad baseball. In 2021, they finished 55 games out of first and were outscored by 204 runs. Fifth-year manager Torey Lovullo was on the hot seat, but the D-backs decided to give him a one-year, prove-it contract. They improved to 74-88 last season, showing a spark of promise.
In April, they released veteran starter Madison Bumgarner after he posted a 10.26 ERA through four starts and it became clear that he no longer had big-league stuff. Arizona swallowed his $34 million contract and moved on.According to MLB Pipeline, The D-backs have created an exciting and aggressive lineup that combines speed and power. Led by star outfielder Corbin Carroll , Gurriel, veteran second baseman Ketel Marte, star first baseman Christian Walker, middle-infielder Geraldo Perdomo, and Moreno behind the player, Arizona has a nice blend of veterans and hungry young players.
