Thursday Tidbits: Roster Machinations

What does the lack of roster moves tell us about remaining position battles?

Introduction

Now that we are just over halfway through Spring Training, we have officially entered speculation season with more regular check-ins on Opening Day rosters. As Mike Hazen noted on a recent radio broadcast, the team is in a somewhat unique position this year with a paucity of open roster spots compared to some of the leaner years that featured...

Standard disclaimer. It has been a staple of articles at this point for over 20 years. Spring training stats are almost meaningless. Pitchers can try out new pitches, which may or may not be discarded. They can go into a game intending to throw only off-speed pitches, and this can play into the end results.

Both Nelsons threw for the Snakes and were aided in their efforts by Pavin’s first bomb of Spring.

Merrill Kelly and Brandon Pfaadt pitched this afternoon

Record: 9-10-1. Change on 2024: +2. Five inning result: 10-9-1.

A three-run fifth inning proved just enough for the Diamondbacks, as they edged the Royals by the odd run in five.

After a Marte walk, both men advanced on a flyout, and came home...
