There is still a month plus left in the season, and while the Diamondbacks are in the hunt by the minimal dictionary definition (They're usually on the graphic of NL Wild Card contenders that TV networks pull out, near the bottom), the team is more of a 2016/2017 project in terms of contention. That's fine, good things come to those who wait. Until then, the team has many on and off the field things to accomplished to raise itself in the ranks of Major League Baseabll Teams. Things such as:
- Possibly extend A.J. Pollock or Paul Goldschmidt, or don't, or one or the other, or send one of them to a dimension of nothing but extensions for miles, just do something about it.
