|
| |  | ARIZONA: HITTING: Arizona's offense placed ninth in the majors in runs (4.5 per game), homers (172) and OPS (.736), thanks in big part to its young outfield trio. OF JUSTIN UPTON, 24, had a career year and led his team with a .289 BA, 31 HR, 88 RBI, 105 runs and a .369 OBP. OF GERARDO PARRA may have won a Gold Glove, but OF JASON KUBEL is the new leftfielder. Kubel's power numbers will improve in the desert. OF CHRIS YOUNG's .236 BA was poor, but his .331 OBP allowed him to score 89 times and swipe a team-high 22 SB. 1B PAUL GOLDSCHMIDT, 24, belted 30 homers in 103 Double-A games and continued his power in the majors with eight bombs in 156 at-bats. 3B RYAN ROBERTS (19 HR, 86 runs) and C MIGUEL MONTERO (18 HR, 86 RBI) also had career-best seasons. 2B AARON HILL was a great midseason acquisition from Toronto, tallying an .878 OPS in 33 games with Arizona. SS STEPHEN DREW batted only .252 with 5 HR in half a season before fracturing his ankle. He'll probably return in early May, and speedy WILLIE BLOOMQUIST will replace him in the starting lineup.
STARTING PITCHING: D-backs starters won 71 games, sixth-most in baseball. IAN KENNEDY won 21 of those contests and led the team with a 2.88 ERA and 198 strikeouts. He also held batters to a .210 BA at hitter-friendly Chase Field. DANIEL HUDSON was strong in all facets as well, notching 16 wins, 169 K and a 3.49 ERA. He pitches like a seasoned veteran, but he's only 25. Newcomer TREVOR CAHILL was 6-1 with a 1.79 ERA in his first 10 starts before finishing 6-13 with a 5.25 ERA. Don't expect a huge comeback going from a pitcher's park to a hitter's park. The Diamondbacks brought back innings eater JOE SAUNDERS, which closed the door for stud prospect WADE MILEY to begin 2012 in Arizona's starting rotation. Once the first-round draft pick from 2008 cuts down on his walks, everything else should fall into place, and he should be pitching for the big club come September. JOSH COLLMENTER burst on the scene with his crazy delivery and was unhittable in his first six starts (1.05 ERA, 0.76 WHIP). He predictably tailed off, but still led the rotation with a 1.07 WHIP, walking just 28 batters in 154.1 innings.
RELIEF PITCHING: Arizona led the majors with 58 saves, as J.J. PUTZ tallied 45 of those. He didn't allow a run in his final 18 appearances, finishing with a 2.17 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 9.5 K per 9 IP. He was unhittable on the road, giving up just one run on nine hits in 24.1 innings (.113 opp. BA). Putz does have a history of being injured, and if he gets hurt again, DAVID HERNANDEZ proved a worthy replacement, saving 11 games last year and posting a strong 10.0 K per 9 IP rate. He held opponents to a meager .193 BA. BRAD ZIEGLER was even better after Arizona acquired him at the deadline. In 23 appearances with the D-backs, the side-arming Ziegler notched a 1.74 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. | | MIAMI: HITTING: Ozzie Guillen takes over as manager for the newly named Miami Marlins, who will open their new retractable-roof Marlins Ballpark in 2012. Indoor games could generate more offense, but the fences are pretty deep (340' to left, 384' to 392' power alleys, 416' center and 335' right). New SS JOSE REYES led the NL with a .337 average and posted a career-best .384 OBP. Malcontent HANLEY RAMIREZ will reluctantly move to 3B, but hopefully he will play harder under Guillen than he has under the previous two skippers. OF GIANCARLO STANTON hit 34 HR last year and will drive in 100 if Ramirez stays healthy. OF LOGAN MORRISON cranked 23 bombs, but his batting average dipped to .247 with this new-found power. 1B GABY SANCHEZ fizzled after August 1 (.211 BA), but still had 19 HR and 78 RBI. OF EMILIO BONIFACIO swiped 40 bases and led the team with a .296 average, but he'll move down the order because of Reyes. C JOHN BUCK and 2B OMAR INFANTE's jobs are secure, but 22-year-old prospect MATT DOMINGUEZ might start 2012 in Triple-A instead of sitting and watching Ramirez and Sanchez at the corner infield spots.
STARTING PITCHING: JOSH JOHNSON is dominant when healthy, but he's made only 88 starts over the past five seasons. His shoulder feels great after surgery last year, and he expects to take the mound on Opening Day. MARK BUEHRLE followed his former manager and signed a 4-year, $58M deal with Miami. The 33-year-old lefty was 13-9 with a 3.59 ERA last year, his 11th straight season of 200+ IP and 10+ wins. RICKY NOLASCO once again had 10 wins and a strong K-to-BB ratio (3.4), but also sported an 8.18 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in his final eight starts. ANIBAL SANCHEZ posted a second straight productive season, fanning 202 batters in 196.1 innings. He did give up twice as many HR (20) as he did in 2010 though. CARLOS ZAMBRANO will begin 2012 in the rotation, but where he ends up is anybody's guess. If Guillen can motivate him, Zambrano has plenty of innings left in his 30-year-old arm.
RELIEF PITCHING: The signing of HEATH BELL to a three-year deal gives the Marlins a reliable long-term closer for the first time since Robb Nen in the mid-'90s. Bell's numbers could suffer a bit with the move to a smaller ballpark and an alarming drop in strikeout rate (11.1 in 2010 to 7.3 in 2011), but he still throws 94 mph. STEVE CISHEK will be the main set-up man for Bell and could see a handful of saves, converting all three opportunities last year and fanning 55 batters in 54.2 innings. MIKE DUNN is the lefty set-up man in this bullpen. He has great stuff (100 K in 86 career innings), but remains extremely wild (53 walks in those 86 IP). |

*Diamondbacks-Marlins Preview* ==============================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Arizona (23-18) at Miami (11-29), 7:10 p.m. EDT
Based on the way the Arizona Diamondbacks have played in Miami of late, it would appear they have a strong chance to continue their overall road success this season.
The Diamondbacks look for a season-high fourth consecutive victory away from home Friday night against the Marlins, who hope to avoid a sixth straight defeat.
With an 11-7 mark away from home, Arizona (23-18) has been among the top road teams in the majors. On the heels of a 4-3 homestand, the Diamondbacks open a six-game trip looking to win for seventh time in eight road contests against Miami (11-30).
First baseman Paul Goldschmidt went 6 for 11 with four doubles as Arizona won the final two of a three-game home set with Atlanta this week. Goldschmidt is batting .272 with three homers and nine RBIs in 23 home games, but .385 with seven home runs and 22 RBIs in 18 road contests.
Rookie shortstop Didi Gregorius has hit .400 (16 for 40) in 10 road games.
Arizona was 5 for 56 in its previous eight games with runners in scoring position, but went 5 for 8 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Braves.
"We hope it gets much better," manager Kirk Gibson said. "I saw better approaches as well."
The Diamondbacks hand the ball to Trevor Cahill (2-4, 2.70 ERA), who is 2-1 with a 1.80 ERA in his last four starts. He gave up a run, three hits and walked four in five innings of a 3-1 loss to Philadelphia on Saturday.
Arizona has scored more than three runs once in Cahill's eight starts this season, but the right-hander's main concern appears to be the inconsistency of his trademark sinker.
"I don't know if it's a mechanical thing or a mental thing," Cahill said. "Some games I can throw it consistently and some games I can't."
He is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA in two starts against the Marlins, who have been outscored 42-15 while losing eight of nine.
Shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria had half of Miami's six hits, including his major league-leading fifth triple, and scored the tying run in the ninth Thursday, but the Marlins allowed three in the 10th inning of a 5-3 home loss to Cincinnati.
"We showed a lot of fight," left fielder Juan Pierre said. "I know it's tough, it looks ugly, but it's the type of stuff that makes you stronger."
While his team ranks last in the majors in runs (113) and average (.223), Hechavarria is 7 for 18 in five games to raise his average from .169 to .211.
Scheduled Miami starter Kevin Slowey (1-3, 2.55) looks to bounce back from his worst outing of the season Saturday when he allowed five runs and 11 hits in 4 2-3 innings of a 7-1 loss at Dodger Stadium. The right-hander had yielded more than one run twice in his previous seven starts.
"Slowey has been great," manager Mike Redmond told the Marlins' official website. "(Saturday), you could tell he was battling from the start. But he went out there and continued to compete and tried to keep us in the game.
"That's what he's done. He's done a great job for us."
Slowey is making his first start against the Diamondbacks, but he allowed two runs and three hits in 2-3 innings of relief against them while with Minnesota in 2011.
