Bloomquist not ready to give up starting job
Willie Bloomquist had what has become his signature Diamondbacks' at-bat Saturday. After taking a strike, he doubled down the right-field line. He stayed inside the ball and found an open landing place. Kelly Johnson once said he saw the same approach every time Bloomquist hit, and he sounded envious when he said it.

D-backs notes: Too much pressure on Skaggs?
PHOENIX -- At FanFest last month, Diamondbacks left-hander Tyler Skaggs said he planned to treat every chance to pitch this spring, while competing for the final spot in the starting rotation, as if it were the seventh game of the World Series.
Manager Kirk Gibson said recently that he believed that self-imposed pressure has had something to do with Skaggs early spring struggles...
D-backs notes: Hernandez switches WBC sides

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- At 13, Martin Prado saw what Venezuelan youth league teammates Miguel Cabrera and Francisco Rodriguez could do and wondered if he fit the sport. If he would ever fit. Now, Prado finds himself compared to hitters such as Edgar Martinez and Placido Polanco.
Dedication and a singleness of purpose can cover a lot of ground.

Hernandez now on USA roster for WBC
Lest Team USA be accused of not playing to win the World Baseball Classic, consider the gamesmanship involved in the Americans' latest roster decision.
When Cleveland Indians closer Chris Perez withdrew from the tournament Friday because of a shoulder injury, USA needed to find another relief pitcher. They chose Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander David Hernandez.

D-backs turn to Eaton for jolt at top of order
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Adam Eaton can get under your skin. Ask the Sacramento River Cats.
As part of adapting to the leadoff role at Triple-A Reno, Eaton chose to work on his bunting in a game last May 25. He beat out a bunt toward second base to lead off the game. He did the same thing in the third inning. And in the fifth. After he doubled in the seventh, the River Cats had had enough...
