The biggest weakness I see on the major league club starts with the pitching, but another significant weakness comes in the outfield. The Diamondbacks were one of the worst teams in terms of fWAR at both corner spots with Yasmany Tomás’ second consecutive sub-replacement level season plus injuries to starters AJ Pollock and David Peralta. One of the few bright spots was the development of Mitch Haniger, but that shipped has sailed. The top 5 outfielders in the organization are Pollock, Peralta, Tomás, Jeremy Hazelbaker, and Sócrates Brito. Going into 2017, I’m not very comfortable with this being the look for the outfield at all, but signing someone in free agency might not be doable either.
