SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Know what? A cactus is more prickly than you think it is….
1. Zack Greinke Changes Face of NL West
A.J. Pollock, Arizona outfielder, walked into a nearly deserted batting cage the other day and waited for the one player to finish his swings. It was Zack Greinke.
Mike Butcher, Arizona pitching coach, surveyed the dugout and noticed Greinke talking even more on the days he pitches than on the other days. He huddles frequently with his catcher to develop communication and strategy.
Chip Hale, Arizona manager, said there is an entirely different tone this spring than last for the Diamondbacks.
