At the start of spring training, the depth on the pitching staff, in the lineup, in the bullpen, and on the bench stood out to me, and instead of making competitions in the bullpen, at second base, shortstop, third base, backup catcher, and in the outfield easier, every player has embraced the internal competition unseen in any other D-backs camp I can remember.
The third round of roster trimming continued on Monday, and with every decision, the makeup of the 25-man-roster becomes less blurry and starts to take shape before our very eyes.
The fight for the final spot in the bullpen, which has been one of if not the most heated all spring, was cleared up a little more on Monday when the Diamondbacks announced the unconditional releases of veteran left-hander Wesley Wright and former Reds right-hander Sam LeCure.
