[dbacks.com] D-backs hope for improved pitching in 2017 - Once the front office is settled, the organization will have to figure out whether the results of 2016 represent an aberration caused by injuries or whether full-scale changes to the roster will be needed. As they tried to do last year, the D-backs will again take strides to improve their pitching staff. Changes must be made to the bullpen, and the club will have to decide whether to break up the young nucleus in the rotation or bank on the possibility of enough of their starters taking a step forward.
