The Bard's Take: The Future Is Now - Part 1 of 2

For ushering the future, it seems there is no time like the present. Just a week ago, I was predicting that Archie Bradley would be joining Arizona's rotation early in 2015, sometime after a starter faltered, but after April 18^th. I figured the Diamondbacks would continue hoping for the best out of Trevor Cahill, making it at least possible to trade him at the deadline. I also expected Nick Ahmed to spend some time in Reno, but to force his way onto the roster as the Diamondbacks' starting short stop sometime around the break.
