Scribblings toward a 2017 Arizona Diamondbacks roster

It’s not currently clear how different the Opening Day roster in 2017 will be from the one which started the 2016 campaign. Given the dismal results which followed this year, you could argue that repeating things with largely the same players, and simply hoping for a different result, is bordering on the insane. But it’s not clear what scope there might be for the team to improve. The free-agent market looks likely to overpay the players available, and the team doesn’t have much in the way of depth or farm prospects that could be leveraged to address the team’s holes [most obviously, pitching, in all its forms]

On the position player side, it’s possible the only significant change sees a healthy A.
