While the American League has the clear demarcation between teams that can make the playoffs and teams that cannot, that same line seems to be muddled in the National League. Based on offseason additions, several teams have vaulted themselves from the bottom of the league to the middle of the pack.
Take the Arizona Diamondbacks for example. They had one need this offseason – pitching. They added not one, but two good pitchers to fix their pitching woes. Zack Greinke from Los Angeles should provide an All-Star talent at the top of the rotation, while Shelby Miller is one of the more durable pitchers in the league.
