The Arizona Diamondbacks dealt with injuries and question marks up the middle, but the corners made up for those shortcomings with consistent production.
When the season began, the D-backs had more depth at second base and shortstop than any other position. On opening day, Chris Owings started at shortstop and Brandon Drury got the nod at second base.
By seasons end, depth was the D-backs best friend up the middle. Owings and defensive wizard and fellow shortstop Nick Ahmed missed significant time on the 60-day disabled list with injuries. Meanwhile, Drury went through a major slump and was benched for a fair amount of time.
