Arizona Spending Like A Mid-Market Team
The Arizona Diamondbacks may have the highest team payroll since 2003 after additions of Jason Kubel and Joe Saunders. Fitting, since most deferred player salaries from that era in Diamondbacks history will finally come off the books at the end of 2012.

The D-backs proposed 2012 budget was a major casualty in the defense of their NL West title.

D-backs: Best Rotation in the West?
The Arizona Diamondbacks surprised many by re-signing Joe Saunders after having committed $16 million to left fielder Jason Kubel. Pecuniary issues aside, keeping Saunders in the fold after acquiring Trevor Cahill earlier in the offseason may give the D-backs the best starting rotation in the NL West and one of the top rotations in all of the National League.

Ryan Braun should just say ‘no’ to NL MVP Award
After baseball writers call his name and ask Ryan Braun to accept the NL MVP Award at a banquet on Saturday night, the only thing he should say is "No, thank you."
Or, to ratchet up the drama, the Milwaukee Brewers slugger could do a Marlon Brando and send Bernie Brewer or a Racing Sausage to the podium with a note politely declining the honor. No matter how, he should...

Diamondbacks Get Worse
Good news for Dodgers and most other NL West fans. The defending 2011 NL West Champion Arizona Diamondbacks have signed a bad pitcher. Joe Saunders signed a one year deal worth $6M. Saunders is barely a replacement level pitcher. His strikeout totals underwhelm. And by underwhelm, I mean they are really really bad. Over the past two years, Saunders has a K/9 of 4.81. Well,...
