I think it has been Arizona this far, the only one up there that I thought would win the division. They have the tools and are in an easy division. KC is a close second.

how can you say Arizona? They have no pitching and no hitting, and no fielding, and an awful bullpen, yeah they have all the tools.
It's gotta be toronto, i expected them to do so well. But it's only April, so we'll see.

They have decent hitting and pitching, great fielding, and a slightly less than average bullpen. Moving Valverde to closer will help. This team should win the NL West, at worst in secdond, and they are choking.

johnson hasn't been dominating. Webb has been awesome, and every other starter has been awful. They have 2 hitters, and one is presently injured. I'm not sure where you got the idea that they have great fielding. You obvioulsy haven't watched them more than 5 times. Hillenbrand is awful, tracy is ok, bautista is nothing special, barajas is ok, and gonzo has bcome a pretty bad Left fielder.

my fault. The d-backs change catcher's so often that i usually forget their names.

LOL, yeah, that's true. Although I think Robby Hammock (former Georgia Bulldog ) could be their catcher for a long time.

They have two great pitchers. They definitely have more than two great hitters. Their fielding is great from what I have seen. That was enough to win the NL West IMO.

they have more than 2 great hitters? really? who besides sexson and gonzo (if you can call gonzo a great hitter anymore)? How many d-backs games have you watched?
If johnson is still a great pitcher, than ok i agree. But you need 1 or 2 more decent pitchers. And the d-backs don't have that.

Bautista has been awesome this year. Cintron will heat up soon. Hillenbrand is a great hitter. They have 5 hitters that I would consider very good or better. That is enough in the NL West.

bautista is not a great hitter and nor is cintron. And i definitely can't see how you can call hillenbrand (a major piece of crap) a great hitter.

I disagree. And again, the D-Backs don't have to be dominant to win the NL West.
