Hope springs eternal when spring training begins. That’s one of the mantras of baseball, with every team having a 0-0 record. Did that apply for the Diamondbacks, after a winter probably best described as “troubled”? Certainly, there was plenty of room for improvement in optimism, with confidence having been at a low for the calendar month in four consecutive polls. But there had been a small improvement from January to February: would that continue on into March? Here are the tallies from the poll at the beginning of the momth.
- 14% - 1 (not confident in the slightest)
- 5% - 9 (very, very, VERY confident)
That is indeed a little better than last month, in particular a further drop in those at the bottom of the list.
