Help is on the way for first place D-Backs
Daniel Hudson’s return will be a boost. (@DBacks, Twitter)
When you look at the situation (one very good starting pitcher, a utility “glue” guy, a prototypical leadoff hitter, and arguably the team’s second best overall hitter are all out with fairly lengthy injuries) and consider this team is tied for first in the NL West, it’s pretty promising.
And think of this: shortly...

Diamondbacks' Adam Eaton suffers setback
The Arizona Diamondbacks are in first place without him, but they'd love to have him back. Adam Eaton was set to make his full-season debut this year, then he landed on the disabled list. Unfortunately, his stint on the DL looks like it will continue longer than expected after he suffered a setback.

Diamondbacks: No need to buy?
The Diamondbacks are that rare contender that might not act as buyers at the non-waiver deadline. They lack an obvious need, and soon might face a number of surpluses:
*Center fielder Adam Eaton is expected to return from a strained left elbow by the end of the month, giving the team four quality outfielders – Eaton, Jason Kubel, Cody Ross and one of the league’s best producers...
Fantasy baseball waivers: Week 8
Ready to cut bait on some players? Me too, as discussed in today's Fantasy 15 podcast. With that said, here's our latest edition of Free Agent Frenzy .
Please note that, as in past seasons, no player will be mentioned in this space more than once in a four-week span, because we don't want to beat you over the head all year long about the same players.

Injuries, lost production not deterring D-backs
PHOENIX -- There are a few teams every baseball season particularly troubled by a rash of injuries. It's nothing new; it just happens.
This year, the Diamondbacks are one of those teams, having at different times been without their starting second baseman, closer, each of their projected starting outfielders and multiple infielders.
Despite the injuries, the D-backs have remained...

The good and bad of the Diamondbacks' first month
PHOENIX -- There are plenty of reasons to like the numbers the Diamondbacks have put up through the first month of the season. There are just as many to tell the numbers to shut up.
Jekyll one day, Hyde (and hide) the next.
It has been a fair start. The D-backs are still two games above .500, a good thing, especially considering they have played all season without nominal leadoff...
In Search Of Steals: Adam Eaton Is On The Mend
At this point, it’s safe to say we can do a decent job of evaluating our team’s strengths and weaknesses. The general rule-of-thumb encourages owners not to panic too early with regards to our stars, but now could be a good opportunity to try and acquire some steals as a throw-in via trade (to an owner that IS panicking) or simply from the waiver wire in deeper leagues.
Here...
Don't dismiss early returns in fantasy
A common sentiment amongst the baseball community is the indifference placed on spring training stats. America's pastime boasts the most perceptive fan base of the major sports, owning a panoramic view of the game's proceedings rather than succumbing to impulsive opinions. Not to say hardball congregations are innocent of this fallacy, especially in regard to up-and-comers...
Injury slows Diamondbacks' personality makeover
The Arizona Diamondbacks underwent a makeover in the offseason.
After a lot of talk, they finally traded Justin Upton, sending the 25-year-old outfielder to the Atlanta Braves, acquiring Martin Prado in the process.
The Diamondbacks gave up on that magnificent yet inconsistent talent in a bid to transform the team into a scrappy, tough, aggressive unit that relies more on contact...
Adam Eaton, Gerardo Parra, And The All-Important Fourth Outfielder
This offseason, it became apparent that the Arizona Diamondbacks were stockpiling outfielders as they geared up to send Justin Upton somewhere–anywhere. Somewhere along the line though, the Diamondbacks started stockpiling outfielders just to stockpile them. Justin wound up alongside his brother in Atlanta, and the D’backs wound up with an outfield logjam. As it turns out...
The New Fantasy Baseball Ranking of Adam Eaton
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Eaton will miss 6-8 weeks of action with a sprained elbow. It is a tough break for those fantasy owners viewing Eaton as a nice sleeper candidate in the middle of drafts and he had been steadily climbing in mock drafts the last few weeks. The winner in the Diamondbacks outfield is Gerrardo Parra who figures to see 125-150 more at bats than what...
D-backs have questions, options in outfield
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The Diamondbacks' lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals featured a few peculiarities, but they might end up being short-term regularities due to pair of injuries that have shaken up the team's outfield situation.
With Cody Ross still rehabbing a leg injury and Adam Eaton now sidelined between six and eight weeks with a sprained left ulnar collateral...

2013 X-Factor: Arizona Diamondbacks
The star power of this Diamondbacks team is a little different than in years past. Justin Upton and Chris Young are gone. The team is now populated by "grinders" like Martin Prado, Aaron Hill, Willie Bloomquist, Cody Ross, and Adam Eaton. Of course, there are still some remnants of the old guard in Arizona, and I think one of those holdovers is going to make a huge impact...
2013 burning question: Arizona Diamondbacks
Continuing from this morning's season preview of the Diamondbacks...
Can the Diamondbacks' new-look outfield effectively replace Chris Young & Justin Upton?
This is going to be something to keep an eye on for this Diamondbacks team throughout the entire 2013 campaign. They lost some star power, and quite a bit of power, when they sent Chris Young off to the Oakland...
