Arizona Diamondbacks - National League West

Arizona Diamondbacks 2005 Schedule

The Diamondbacks send out mixed messages on what they are trying to do. But one thing has become obvious: They haven't dedicated the time or money to developing a strong farm system.
So Arizona finds itself constantly having to look for pieces to fill in its puzzle elsewhere.
The past two offseasons the D'backs have broken up what was as dominating as one-two punch as any team could have hoped to put together. First, Curt Schilling was shipped to Boston a year ago, while Randy Johnson was dealt to the New York Yankees this past offseason.
Arizona did significantly upgrade its offense by signing free agent third baseman Troy Glaus and getting Shawn Green from the Los Angeles Dodgers to play right field.

2004 Top Draft Pick
The D'backs took high school short-stop Stephen Drew with their first pick in the 2004 draft. But Drew, who is
represented by Scott Boras, was out of the D'backs' price range going in and had not signed him as of late January. This selection widened the rift between then-managing general partner Jerry Colangelo and the rest of the ownership group, eventually leading to Colangelo's departure.

Difference Maker
Troy Glaus slots into the lineup just where the D'backs need him most, at cleanup, and he should add the consistent power bat that the D'backs have hoped to pair with Luis Gonzalez since Matt Williams had 35 homers and 142 RBIs in 1999. Glaus can crush the ball — he had 47 homers in 2000 and 41 in 2001 — and will make opponents pitch to Gonzalez while also giving Shawn Green plenty of RBI chances.
