Welcome to Diamondbacks Day here at TOC, where we embrace mediocrity. Arizona is coming off of two straight 81-81 seasons, and while I try to keep personal biases out of my writing, I'd love to see them have the same record once again this year.
Yesterday was Giants Day on TOC, and here's your recap.
–Season preview
–Two biggest weaknesses
–Three key questions
–Four horsemen
Also yesterday, we got our first games of Spring Training. In the Phillies-Blue Jays game, Jose Bautista hit the spring's first homer – and it left Bright House Field. In the Giants-Athletics game, Josh Reddick robbed Michael Morse of a home run – twice. Meanwhile at Brewers camp, Hank the Ballpark Pup ran with the Racing Sausages. Awwww.
