The Diamondbacks have opened spring training, as pitchers and catchers reported yesterday. The following are a few of the items I found most interesting from the the ZOOM press conferences from yesterday and today. But much more was covered so try to check out the audio links contained in the article as you have time.
Madison Bumgarner
He was asked and spoke directly about his struggles last year. He cited the stop and restart to spring training ramp up as a factor or variable that he felt definitely affected him. He said if he had that all to do over again he would have tried to keep on a throwing program during the break between March and July instead of shutting down and restarting.
