That Byrnes wouldn’t say probably means it wasn’t very hard. "He came here to work out and we certainly afforded him the opportunity," Byrnes said. "Every club is always wanting to ensure pitching depth. It’s an evaluation worth do...

5 hours agoNick Piecoro's Dbacks Blog | Arizona Republic — Outfielder Evan Frey’s confidence was sky-high coming out of spring training last season. He hung around big league camp for most of March, drawing praise from coaches and club executives for his tremendous defense and his tough at-bats. And before that, he turned in an impressive fall league campaign, hitting .288 with a .350 on-base and making even the best pitchers -- like Atlanta’s Tommy Hanson -- work to get him out. But from the beginning his 2009 season didn’t go as planned. In Double-A Mobile, he hit.236 in April and just .196 in May, and though he rebounded in the .....

March 11, 2010Nick Piecoro's Dbacks Blog | Arizona Republic — Manager A.J. Hinch wouldn’t come out and say it, but it’s becoming more and more clear that right-hander Brandon Webb will start the season on the disabled list. “We are running out of time,” Hinch said.

Probably. We’re goin...
