Arizona Diamondbacks: Heavy lumber leads to early results

What the Arizona Diamondbacks were able to do in the first week of the season is any indication, opponents could be in for long nights and exhausted bullpens.

After winning six of their initial seven games of the season, the Diamondbacks present an offense which is both scary and lethal. Since Day One of spring training, the offensive potential was there, but many believed the fate of this club rested with the arms of their pitchers. From the starting rotation through the bullpen and to the back-end closer, pitching would hold the key. Perhaps the biggest fear of manager Torey Lovullo was engaging 12-10 games, and whether the Diamondbacks would come out on the winning side.
