Are the Rockies and Diamondbacks turning the NL West upside down?
Prognosticators in search of a dark horse team in spring training had two options in the National League West. Some liked the Arizona Diamondbacks, with their dangerous lineup and potentially strong rotation. Others were intrigued by the Colorado Rockies, with their potent offense and remodeled bullpen.
As the past week has shown, both teams will have to overcome some challenges to remain relevant in September. But like Mel Kiper Jr. and H&R Block, the D-backs and Rockies are doing some of their best work in April.
