Change on 2018: +1.5. 5-inning record: 4-1-2.Safe to say, this afternoon’s contest at Salt River Fields, in front of a sold-out crowd, will have been considerably better appreciated by the wintering Chicago snowbirds, than the hometown fans. Arizona’s offense was kept off the board until a Kevin Cron home-run in the ninth inning, while the pitching and defense weren’t up to much at all. Our pitchers allowed 10 runs on 12 hits and five walks. Three of those runs were unearned, thanks to a trio of errors by Cron at the hot corner, so his ending of the shutout was hardly sufficient compensation. For the first televised game of the year on Fox Sports Arizona... Well, I won’t blame you if you found something else to do, long before the end.Robbie Ray was the starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks http://www.angelsfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-cozart-jersey , and had a fairly Ray-esque outing for his spring debut. A one-out walk in the first was followed by a wild pitch, and the runner came around to score on an RBI single. But Ray stranded a man who had reached third with one out, and followed up with a scoreless second inning, around a one-out single. He finished the second off by retiring former Diamondback Evan Marzilli; a lead-off single in the third was erased by a caught stealing, and one out later, Ray’s day was done. His final line was one run over 2.2 innings of work, on three hits and a walk with three strikeouts. That was definitely one of the day’s better pitching performances by Arizona. The bulk of the damage was done against two men who are expected to be part of the Opening Day bullpen. Greg Holland made his D-backs debut and failed to impressed, having to be bailed out without getting through the fourth inning. With one out, he allowed a single, a walk and then a three-run home-run to Mark Zagunis. He did strikeout the last batter he faced. T.J. McFarland also couldn’t get through the five-run seventh, allowing three hits and four runs in 0.2 innings. In his defense, he wasn’t helped by Cron’s first error Justin Verlander Jersey , or by Sam Lewis allowing a three-run shot that allowed both runners he inherited to score. As a result, two of the four runs charged to McFarland were unearned.Taylor Widener did throw a pair of scoreless innings, despite issuing back-to-back four-pitch walks with one out in the fifth. An Addison Russell double-play with the bases loaded were all that allowed Widener to escape unscathed. Jimmie Sherfy gave up a run on two hits in the eighth, and Stefan Crichton worked a scoreless ninth around errors #2 and #3 by Cron. It was a good day for our catchers at the plate, Alex Avila and Daulton Varsho evenly splitting a 4-for-4 game. But the D-backs didn’t have a hit with a runner in scoring position until Varsho’s RBI double with one out in the ninth, scoring SS Jazz Chisholm.Not the start to March we wanted. Here’s to better tomorrow, when the Dodgers are the opponents for the first time this year. Matt Andriese is the scheduled starter at Salt River Fields on Saturday afternoon. The veteran outfielder lingered on the free agent market longer than expected, finalizing a one-year deal with the Diamondbacks on Monday."WhiteFanposts Sections News & RumorsAnalysisPodcastsProspects & DraftGame CoverageFull ArchiveMasthead Social Marlins Players on TwitterFish Stripes on InstagramMarlins Media Members Fish Stripes Best of 2018 Marlins StoriesScheduleRosterStatsCommunity Guidelines StubHub 鉁昅iami Marlins News and RumorsAdam Jones says Marlins expressed interest in signing him as free agentNew,3commentsThe veteran outfielder lingered on the free agent market longer than expected, finalizing a one-year deal with the Diamondbacks on Monday.EDTShareTweetShareShareAdam Jones says Marlins expressed interest in signing him as free agentJones passed through Marlins Park two years ago during the 2017 World Baseball ClassicLogan Bowles-USA TODAY SportsOne of this decade’s most productive outfielders, AdamJones finally earned the opportunity to test free agency for the first time. Like many other 30-somethings, his experience with it was drawn out and frustrating Houston Astros Jersey , with the Diamondbacks ultimately inking him to a $3 million deal for this upcoming season (Jones earned $17.3 million in 2018 with the Orioles).Along the way, the Marlins were the only other possible landing spot for the 33-year-old, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today.Lots to unpack here.First off, it’s unclear what the sequence of events was. Were the Marlins still entertaining Jones as a fit until the very end? Former Marlins pitcher DontrelleWillis had the scoop about his pending deal, but they are known to be friends off the field—it’s not like D-Train was involved with negotiating on the club’s behalf. Nightengale clarifies that the Marlins never made a formal offer. Also, president of baseball operations Michael Hill indicated several weeks ago that they had no interest in additional signings.Online CasinosPerhaps Miami viewed Jones as an alternative to CurtisGranderson. They were able to get Granderson last month on a “we want you for a significant MLB role, but don’t have the roster spot right now” minor league deal. He will earn a $1.75 million salary in 2019, facing predominantly right-handed pitching and manning the corner outfield spots (maxes out at $2 million with incentives).Meanwhile, “it was either play in the major leagues or stay home” from Jones’ perspective. The distinction between minor league and major league deal was critical to his decision. Jones performed poorly last summer (.281/.313/.419, 98 wRC+, 0.5 fWAR in 613 PA), but provides Granderson-like leadership and marketability with significantly more upside. He is four-and-a-half years younger and capable of playing center field in emergency situations. The Dbacks tacked on plate appearance-based incentives that allow the former All-Star to collect up to $5 million total this season.Besides Granderson http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-justin-verlander-jersey , the Marlins will carry LewisBrinson on their Opening Day roster, plus at least two of the following outfield options: GarrettCooper, AustinDean, GabrielGuerrero, RosellHerrera, Peter O’Brien and Harold Ramrez.The Marlins want to balance controllable potential building blocks with respected veterans (that the front office will consider trading midseason to recoup prospects). But there’s a case to be made that their roster heading into the regular season leans too much on the former, leaving them vulnerable to be embarrassed in a hyper-competitive NL East.
