With the 2017 season officially over, and congratulations to the Houston Astros, the Diamondbacks now can now look forward towards building their 2018 roster. The team was able to overachieve in 2017 based on a strong starting rotation, a solid enough back-end of the bullpen, an MVP caliber season from Paul Goldschmidt, and the best two months of J.D. Martinez’s career. It’s still quite possible for the Diamondbacks to be able to compete for the playoffs once again in 2018, but it’s going to require excellent roster management and a bit of luck to be in the same position next September.
