KEY GAME INFORMATION
ARIZONA: PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona's desert overhaul began last summer with the hire of Tony La Russa as chief baseball officer.
More hires followed: Dave Stewart as general manager, Joe Carter and De Jon Watson to front-office positions, Chip Hale as the new manager.
Now that the brain trust is in place, it's time to see what the new-look Diamondbacks can do on the field.
''I don't have a crystal ball. I just know we'll be competitive,'' La Russa said. ''I've said before, I'll be broken-hearted if we don't have a winning record this year.''
Arizona has fallen hard since winning the 2011 NL West crown, putting together a pair of .500 seasons before dropping to 64-98 a year ago, the worst record in baseball and second-worst in franchise history.
Some of it was injuries; the Diamondbacks lost three pitchers to Tommy John surgery and seemed to have every one of their top players get hurt at some point.
But La Russa and the rest of the front office also saw need for changes, which began during the trade deadline and continued during the offseason.
Gone are catcher Miguel Montero, third baseman Martin Prado, shortstop Didi Gregorius, along with pitchers Wade Miley and Brandon McCarthy.
Even with the losses, Arizona's lineup should be potent.
A.J. Pollock, Mark Trumbo and Paul Goldschmidt are all healthy after missing games last season and David Peralta returns in right field after a solid rookie season. Arizona also picked up Cuban slugger Yasmany Tomas, who has potentially game-changing power.
But, as has been the case in the desert, pitching will be the big question
Arizona traded Miley to Boston and its opening day starter will be Josh Collmenter, an over-the-top-throwing right-hander who has bounced between the bullpen and the rotation during his four big-league seasons.
Patrick Corbin and Bronson Arroyo were part of the rotation last season, but both underwent Tommy John surgery and aren't expected to return until at least midseason.
The Diamondbacks picked up right-hander Rubby De La Rosa in the Miley trade and right-hander Jeremy Hellickson in another deal with Tampa Bay. Arizona also signed 21-year-old Cuban right-hander Yoan Lopez, who is competing for a spot in the rotation, and has right-handers Chase Anderson and Trevor Cahill back from last season.
For all the potential the Diamondbacks have with their bats, it won't matter much if the pitchers don't come through.
A few more things to look for from the 2015 Arizona Diamondbacks:
GOLDY SHINES: Goldschmidt was having another stellar season in 2014 when he was derailed by a broken hand at the start of August. Before his injury, the All-Star first baseman had become one of the best power hitters in the game and was runner-up in the NL MVP race in 2013, when he hit .302 with 26 homers and 125 RBIs. He felt good throughout spring training and expected to be back giving the Diamondbacks some consistent pop in the lineup.
REPLACING MONTERO: Arizona took a gamble during the offseason by trading Montero to the Chicago Cubs. A two-time All-Star, Montero was a steadying influence in the clubhouse and behind the plate, not to mention a power bat in the lineup. Now that he's gone, the Diamondbacks will turn to 31-year-old Tuffy Gosewisch, who has 179 career at-bats and didn't break into the majors until 2013 after eight years in the minors.
ADDING TOMAS: The Diamondbacks made a bit of an international splash by signing Tomas to a six-year, $68 million contract. The dilemma now is to figure out where to play him and how quickly he can adjust to playing in the big leagues. Arizona would like to play the 24-year-old at third base, but could move him to the outfield if he can't make the transition to a position he's never played. Tomas has plenty of raw ability and is young, so the Diamondbacks have high hopes for him - wherever he ends up playing.
HUDSON'S RETURN: Daniel Hudson was a consistent performer on Arizona's staff before having Tommy John surgery each of the past two seasons. He returned last September, pitching in the bullpen. The right-hander is expected to start the season in the bullpen, but could find a place back in the rotation if he remains healthy.
COLORADO: DENVER (AP) - Troy Tulowitzki benefits by having Carlos Gonzalez in the lineup. Gonzalez certainly benefits from Tulowitzki's presence, too.
But the Colorado Rockies may not benefit as much as you might think having those two sluggers together in the batting order. A healthy Tulo and CarGo by no means guarantees success, even if the Rockies are banking on bounce-back years from them to end a string of four straight losing seasons.
At least, the numbers seem to indicate as much. Since 2010, the Rockies are just 185-198 (.483 winning percentage) when Gonzalez and Tulowitzki are both in the starting lineup, according to STATS.
Still better than the alternative, though. Colorado is 175-252 (.410) when one or both don't start.
The takeaway is simple: This powerful tandem needs some help.
Colorado didn't make any splashy moves over the winter after a 66-96 season that led to sweeping changes in the front office. The biggest moves by new GM Jeff Bridich weren't to bolster a beleaguered pitching staff, but to bring in veteran catcher Nick Hundley and utility infielder Daniel Descalso.
Bridich believes Tulowitzki and Gonzalez can do more to get this team back on track than any sort of blockbuster deal.
If they stay on the field, that is.
''I'm not going to sit here and say we're a 90-win team or whatever it is. I'm just getting myself ready to play,'' Tulowitzki said. ''That's my goal, keep myself healthy.''
That's been anything but easy for the smooth-fielding shortstop. Over his career, he's had stints on the disabled list for a quadriceps tendon tear, lacerated right hand, broken left wrist and a groin injury. Last season, Tulowitzki played only 91 games before undergoing hip surgery.
''I feel great,'' said Tulowitzki, who turned 30 in October. ''But you guys judge and tell me.''
Like Tulowitzki, Gonzalez also feels fit again. The outfielder was limited to 70 games because of surgery to remove a small tumor in his left index finger and then another on his left knee.
''I'm feeling really good in the outfield, so that's a really good sign,'' Gonzalez said.
No doubt, Tulowitzki and Gonzalez fuel each other on offense. With Tulowitzki in the lineup since 2010, Gonzalez hit .307 with 89 homers spanning 402 games. Without him, Gonzalez's average was .291 with 30 homers in 185 games, according to STATS research.
And while Tulowitzki's batting average actually goes up without Gonzalez (.307 to .328), his slugging percentage dips a bit (.559 to .533).
''I think everything will take care of itself - if I play,'' Tulowitzki said.
With the NL West vastly improved, the Rockies aren't exactly in the conversation as contenders. But they do boast Tulowitzki and Gonzalez, along with NL batting champ Justin Morneau and Gold Glove third baseman Nolan Arenado.
''We're a nobody. That's OK with us,'' Arenado said. ''If we stay healthy, we're going to do some damage.''
Things to know as the Rockies try to get back on track:
TRADE RUMORS: Tulowitzki didn't pay too much attention to the trade rumors that popped up in the offseason. Should the Rockies fall out of contention early, those rumors could surface again. "I do know that rumors fly and rumors fly at a high rate these days with all the social media that's going on,'' Tulowitzki said.
YOUNG ROTATION: Lefty Jorge De La Rosa is dealing with a nagging groin injury this spring and righty Jhoulys Chacin was recently let go. That could pave the way for top prospects Eddie Butler and Jon Gray to work their way into the rotation. ''He's a talented kid,'' manager Walt Weiss said of Gray. ''Now it's just a matter of maturing and knowing he belongs.''
NO PLACE LIKE HOME: The Rockies had the worst road record (21-60) last season and hit almost 100 points lower away from home (.228) than at Coors Field (.322). ''Obviously there are some adjustments our hitters have to make, going away from our place,'' Weiss said.
GOLDEN INFIELD: Starter Kyle Kendrick certainly appreciates this infield, with Arenado, Tulowitzki and second baseman DJ LeMahieu all having earned a Gold Glove in their career. ''The defense is great,'' Kendrick said. ''You keep the ball down, you get ground balls, you're going to get outs.''

*Diamondbacks-Rockies Preview* ==============================

By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer

Arizona (63-67) at Colorado (52-76), 8:40 p.m. EDT

While star Paul Goldschmidt attracts most of the attention, A.J. Pollock has blossomed into one of the NL's top offensive forces for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Pollock will try to stay hot away from home as Arizona looks to bounce back from a humbling series-opening defeat in Tuesday's doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies.

Goldschmidt leads the NL in RBIs (96) and ranks among the league leaders in average (.325) and home runs (26). With Pollock right behind him at a career-best .320, the Diamondbacks are the only club with two players in the league's top four in batting.

Pollock is hitting .422 with 10 RBIs in his last 15 road games and he's 11 for 25 with two home runs and three doubles in his last six at Coors Field. His two-run homer Monday put Arizona ahead in the third inning before closer Brad Ziegler failed to preserve a three-run lead in a 5-4 defeat.

"It was a win we felt like we should've had," Pollock said.

Since getting within five games of the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 23, the Diamondbacks (63-68) have dropped seven of eight to fall out of contention.

Patrick Corbin (3-3, 3.78 ERA) will pitch the opener Tuesday, when the teams will also play a makeup game from a May postponement. Aside from two starts in which he didn't make it past the second inning, the left-hander has posted a 2.70 ERA in his other eight outings.

Corbin has gone 4-0 with a 2.48 ERA in his last six starts against Colorado. In his season debut July 4, he gave up two runs over five innings in a 7-3 home win over the Rockies.

NL West-worst Colorado (53-76) seeks its first three-game winning streak since a four-game run July 9-12. Charlie Blackmon and DJ LeMahieu had three hits apiece Monday.

Ben Paulsen hit a walk-off, two-run single off Matt Reynolds to cap Colorado's four-run ninth.

"We've done that all year," Paulsen said. "It almost seems like when the closers come in we kind of step our game up and everybody hones in. Our lineup is dangerous."

Blackmon is batting .421 over a 10-game hitting streak at Coors, and he's hitting .442 with three home runs in 23 career home meetings against the Diamondbacks.

Yohan Flande (3-1, 4.09) is 2-0 with a 4.13 ERA in six starts since joining Colorado's rotation in late July. In his only start against the Diamondbacks, the left-hander gave up two runs over five innings in a 7-6 walk-off win last September.

Goldschmidt is still one walk away from setting a single-season franchise record with 101. David Peralta, 5 for 8 in his last two games, is batting .372 against the Rockies this season.

Colorado's Game 2 starter, Kyle Kendrick, is 2-5 with a 7.27 ERA in 10 outings at Coors. He had an 8.02 mark in a five-start stretch overall before missing August with right shoulder inflammation.

Kendrick (4-12, 6.43) hasn't fared much better against Arizona, posting a 6.37 ERA in 11 starts.

The Diamondbacks counter with Rubby De La Rosa. He had been 5-0 with a 2.54 ERA over a seven-start stretch before giving up five runs over five innings in Thursday's 5-3 loss to St. Louis.

The right-hander yielded one run over seven innings June 25 but did not factor in the decision of a 6-4 loss at Coors. He then surrendered six runs over five in a 6-4 home loss to the Rockies on July 5.

Carlos Gonzalez and Nolan Arenado have taken De La Rosa (11-6, 4.46) deep this season.
