"Under The Gun" takes a look at one player from each team who will bear all the pressure for the upcoming '08 season.On paper, the Arizona Diamondbacks are a better team than the division champions of last season. Dan Haren joins Brandon Webb for a 1-2 punch that's the envy of all baseball, their lineup returns intact and, even after trading Jose Valverde, their bullpen remains efficient and effective. So all they need to do is roll out the carpet and tramp their way back to the playoffs, right? Of course not.
Their success will hinge on several players. Can Randy Johnson return to form and round out the strong rotation? Is Justin Upton going to make a quick transition to the major leagues? Will Eric Byrnes's run-in with the law turn him from hero to zero? Okay, the last one's a bit of a stretch but, to me, the biggest questions have to do with Stephen Drew.
After a brilliant 2006 debut, Drew crashed into the mountain last season. His OPS was 683, he struck out 100 times and offered more questions than answers about his future. Was it a sophomore slump or a sign of the real Drew? There were some good signs. Drew walks a lot and played well in October. Without a thumper in the lineup, the D-Backs need to have production up and down the lineup. Drew has to be much better than he was last summer. If he is, a repeat as NL West champs could be in the offing.
