D-Backs’ Ray Montgomery on Bauer and Bradley
The Diamondbacks had two of the first seven picks in last June’s amateur draft, and to say that scouting director Ray Montgomery is excited about those players is an understatement. You can’t blame him. Right-hander Trevor Bauer, who was taken third overall out of UCLA, is already close to big-league ready with the potential to become a perennial all-star. Archie Bradley, a 19...

Player Profile #68: Ian Kennedy | SP | ARI
We’re all surprised at just about every facet of Ian Kennedy‘s 2011 stat line, but, personally, I was shocked at how good his 2010 numbers were, too. He didn’t win 21 games or post an ERA under 3.00 like he did last season, but his 1.20 WHIP was pretty good and I’ll always take a chance on a pitcher with a .223 OBA over 194 innings. With two back-to-back useful...

Player Profile #81: Daniel Hudson | SP | ARI
There were some big expectations surrounding Daniel Hudson last season after his performance to end the 2010 season (7-1, 1.69 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, 7.9 K/9). Unfotunately, he didn’t quite live up to those lofty expectations, but still put up good enough numbers to rank 84th with a 4.00 PSR. What hurt him the most were the plain strikeout totals (6.85 K/9, 18.4 K%), but his 9.9 SwStr...
