Spencer: Solid C- for me. They have maintained positioning despite many injuries and poor play. I can’t go higher when the likes of Suarez, Cecconi and Blaze have been as bad as they have, but that’s not sunk the team the way it would’ve in 2021. Passable, but maybe not enough to extend the season.
Makakilo: To reach the playoffs, two imperatives are consistent offense and winning the series against the Padres and the Mets. In July, the Diamondbacks significantly improved their offense and won a series against the Padres. In July, they improved their grade to an A (three blown saves took away the +).
