Diamondbacks Spring Gameday Thread #9/10: vs. Padres/@ Giants

Two contests this afternoon, but it’s probably fair to say that most attention will be on the game against San Diego at Salt River Fields. There are a couple of reasons for this. Firstly, it’s the only one being covered, with the match-up being broadcast both on Bankruptcy Sports Arizona and Arizona’s Sports 98.7 FM. Also, that game sees top pitching prospect Brandon Pfaadt take the mount for the D-backs. With all respect to Blake Walston, who is starting the road half of the split=squad day, people will generally be more interested to see what Pfaadt can do. He had a strong outing last time, with two scoreless innings of one-hit ball, and is still potentially (though unlikely) in the running for the fifth starter’s job.
