Somewhat inspired by John B's "regression" post, figured it might to fun to throw up a series of posts looking at specific stats for specific D-backs. We start with our likely lead-off man's numbers on the bases.

Justin Upton is an Atlanta Brave now, so deal with it. Or not. Not works too...

That's how we were described in a recent New York Times article, which pointed out how we went from 111 losses to the best record in the NL, three years later. But how true is that claim?

The Diamondbacks seem keen to get young first-baseman Paul Goldschmidt locked in to a contract extension, but there appears to be less enthusiasm for such a deal from the player's side at this point.

If you were asked to name the starters for the 2001 D-backs, you'd be forgiven for forgetting Eric Knott, who worked game #162 of the regular season. But he played pro ball for 11 years, and has now written about it, and his experiences with PEDs.

As Benjamin Disraeli once said - I think it was on his Twitter feed - there are lies, damn lies and Cactus League stats. Let's look back at the last five years and see which spring numbers were least indicative of D-back regular season form.

The key to the slugging second baseman's future lies in his past -- and some potentially-ephemeral ground-ball magic.

Joe Garagiola Sr. announced his retirement at a press conference this afternoon, bringing to a close his 58-year career in broadcasting, the last 15 with the Diamondbacks.

Community benefit in coaching at spring training seems like a stretch.

Few things have been more constant in the D-backs line-up than Justin Upton in the third spot. That won't be the case this year. So who might we see? And what will the rest of the batting order look like?
