Arizona is Scary!

Have you seen these guys? Arizona is without a doubt, the team to beat in the West - probably the team to beat in the National League. The lineup is full of young power hitters, while their rotation is packed with young, talented arms. Even if Randy Johnson can't stay healthy or control his fastball, that pitching will still be some of the most dominant in the league.

In all honesty, it's hard to blame the Giants for losing two out of three (we should be happy with that). Our offense couldn't make heads or tails of Brandon Webb, while our pitchers just couldn't solve the mysteries of Orlando Hudson, Chris Young and Conor Jackson. The Diamondbacks are an exciting young team that should be fun to watch in 2008. They are also a good role model for the Giants in how they were able to develop a young, potent lineup and rotation, while making the smart trades and free agent signings to supplement that.
