When we polled fans about the areas of concern at the end of last season, there was no doubt that pitching was far more a concern than the position players. Combining the rotation and bullpen, that got 90% of votes, with the infield and outfield receiving only a tiny fraction of that combined. There was a fairly close split between starting pitching and relievers, with the latter winning out by a 49-41% margin. We’ll get to the bullpen next week, but let’s look for now at the rotation, which so far looks largely set to be the same people who started games for the Diamondbacks last year.
