With the departures of Nick Green, Ildemaro Vargas and Mark Rzepczynski off the D-backs’ island today, the team now has 27 players left in spring training. What do we have?
Starting pitchers
No surprises here. These were the expected starting five and in the expected order as well. It would have taken some major problems - most likely in the health department - for anyone else to displace any of these pitchers. Godley and Kelly had their wobbles in the early stages, but ended up being reasonable enough to pass muster.
