|
| | | 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. | | SAN FRANCISCO: HITTING: The Giants scored the second-fewest runs in the majors. But the additions of OF MELKY CABRERA (.305 BA, 18 HR, 87 RBI, 102 runs) and OF ANGEL PAGAN (32 SB) at the top of the order will certainly help. C BUSTER POSEY's surgically repaired ankle should be fully healed for the start of the season, and the 25-year-old's .368 OBP is certainly needed. 3B PABLO SANDOVAL was the team's best hitter in 2011 (.315 BA, 23 HR, 70 RBI) and was the only legitimate power source. The right side of the infield consists of veteran players past their prime. 1B AUBREY HUFF had his worst season, hitting .246 with 12 HR, but the 35-year-old will continue to bat in the middle of the lineup. 2B FREDDY SANCHEZ, 34, missed 50+ games for the third straight year as he suffered a torn labrum. SS BRANDON CRAWFORD has a slick glove but he's not close to being a legitimate major-league hitter (.204 career BA). OF BRANDON BELT, 23, has future star potential, but will be in a reserve role. OF NATE SCHIERHOLTZ (.756 OPS) provides a reliable bat in right field. STARTING PITCHING: San Francisco ranked second in the majors in ERA (3.28), strikeouts (5.4 per game) and Opp. BA (.237). TIM LINCECUM was the ace once again with a 2.74 ERA and 220 strikeouts, but carried a sub-.500 record (13-14). Including playoffs, Lincecum has thrown an average of 230 innings per season since 2008. MATT CAIN also had a phenomenal year, carting a 2.88 ERA, team-best 1.08 WHIP and fanning 179 batters. He allowed only nine home runs in 221.2 innings of work. 22-year-old lefty MADISON BUMGARNER had a solid first full season, finishing with a 3.21 ERA, and a 4.2 K-to-BB ratio (191 strikeouts, 46 walks). RYAN VOGELSONG was an unbelievable story, returning to the majors for the first time since 2006 and going 13-7 with a 2.71 ERA. Although he's 34, his arm has plenty of innings left. BARRY ZITO will likely earn the final spot in the rotation as prospect ERIC SURKAMP gets more seasoning in Triple-A. Zito posted a career-worst 5.87 ERA while Surkamp carted a 1.84 WHIP in six starts. RELIEF PITCHING: The success of the San Francisco bullpen hinges on BRIAN WILSON, who had a down year (1.47 WHIP, 54 K, 31 BB) because of elbow problems. Surgery was not required for his ailment, so expect a nice bounce-back season from this elite closer. If Wilson gets injured again, SERGIO ROMO could get called upon in the late innings. But even if he doesn't save a game, he still has plenty of value as a set-up man, notching a gaudy 13.1 strikeout rate and 0.71 WHIP last year. In 48 innings, he struck out 70 batters and only walked five. JEREMY AFFELDT is the top lefty in the Giants pen. He notched a strong 2.63 ERA and also tallied a career-best 1.15 WHIP last year. |

*Diamondbacks-Giants Preview* =============================
Arizona (71-68) at San Francisco (62-78), 10:15 p.m. EDT
Yusmeiro Petit outpitched Patrick Corbin last weekend in his first start against his former team.
Those starters meet again Friday night when Petit's San Francisco Giants and Corbin's Arizona Diamondbacks continue a four-game set at AT&T Park.
Petit (2-0, 3.12 ERA) went 9-19 with a 5.05 ERA in 56 games - 35 starts - for Arizona from 2007-09 and did not pitch in the majors again until he made one start last year for the Giants.
Returning to Arizona for the first time since leaving the desert, Petit struck out a career-high 10 and gave up two runs over six-plus innings in an 8-2 victory Sunday.
Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said Petit "is a little bit more mature" than he was in his days with the Diamondbacks.
"Experience," Petit said with a teammate serving as translator. "Before I wasn't consistent with what I was doing. Now the experience is taking place in what I'm showing right now."
The right-hander was recalled from Triple-A Fresno to replace the injured Matt Cain on Aug. 23 and has posted 23 strikeouts over 17 1-3 innings this year while winning both of his starts.
"He's come up here and done all that we could ask for," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Gibson gave Corbin (13-5, 2.96) two extra days of rest before Sunday, but the left-hander was charged with five runs over five innings. He was tagged for a career-high nine runs in 5 1-3 innings in his previous outing, a 9-5 defeat at Philadelphia on Aug. 25.
"I felt all right," said Corbin, who has never lost three straight starts. "I just wasn't really locating anything and left some pitches up."
Corbin is 0-1 with a 3.66 ERA in three 2013 starts against the Giants, and 0-1 with a 7.04 ERA in three in his career at San Francisco.
Gibson wasn't around for the end of the Diamondbacks' 4-2 victory Thursday in the series opener. He was ejected by plate umpire Tom Hallion for arguing a play in which the Giants' Pablo Sandoval scored on a sacrifice fly by Hector Sanchez in the fourth inning.
"I thought he missed it," Gibson said.
Paul Goldschmidt broke out of a slump with two hits and two RBIs as Arizona (71-68) remained seven games behind Cincinnati in the race for the NL's second wild card.
Goldschmidt had been hitless in 15 at-bats and gone six straight games without driving in a run before boosting his RBI total to 106 - the sixth-highest mark in franchise history. The slugger, however, is hitting .196 in the season series, with the Giants (62-78) winning 10 of 16.
San Francisco's Buster Posey missed his second straight game with a fracture in his swollen right ring finger suffered Tuesday in San Diego. It is unclear if he will return in this series.
"Throwing will be all right," Posey said. "I haven't grabbed a bat yet, but I'll test that tomorrow. From what I'm hearing from the trainers and doctors, once it calms down I can play through it."
Gibson plans to rest shortstop Willie Bloomquist, hitting .354, on Friday.
