Have Diamondbacks Nothing on the Pythagorean Theorem?

0 comments
Some believe that Pythagorean Theorem can be proved in many ways.  Arizona Diamondbacks could not show mettle on the field, last season as they were ready to compete in a day in day out basis.  However, with the changes made in the off-season, there are proofs that Diamondbacks are trying to improve. Even at the end of this season the result may still not be readily available.
Changes in the DBacks are remarkable and very visible. The changes mark the improvements. The subtraction of Mark Reynolds‘.198 average and 200 plus annual strikeouts and addition of Melvin Mora, a nice guy that has the reputation of striking out, are meaningful. Moreover, Adam Laroche has been replaced with Juan Miranda.
Pitching staff has not been left unchanged. Lots of changes have been made there as well simply to improve and improve. But few still question! “Have they made enough in this field?” Just see now. Some of last season’s problem pitchers are still on the bullpen roster.  Esmerling Vasquez, Aaron Heilman, Jordan Noberto, and Carlos Rosa are still kicking around.  Vasquez didn’t do much in 2010.
Lastly their competition on daily basis would be the real proof of Dbacks improvement.  No doubt winning matters but if the Dbacks remained parallel to their competitors this season, that doesn’t necessarily prove one thing over another.  Side by side they will have to reduce errors, change clubhouse attitude and will have to be mature enough to handle the losses differently and respond to adversity.
