Strengths
Not many but the team does have Matt Williams and Adam Dunn in the middle of their lineup. Also the team has good speed and defense and really has nothing to lose as little to nothing is expected of them. Curt Schilling is obviously a key to this team as he will be expected to carry the load of the staff.

Weaknesses
No one really hits for a high average and their is a lack of starpower for a team so young. The bullpen is very weak with Matt Mantei barely able to be counted on. Also strike outs will be a problem for this team moving forward.

Key Figuire
As mentioned it will all ride on Curt Schilling's shoulders as the outspoken right hander will try to pile up the innings and earn some wins.

Expectations
Being so young a franchise no one really expects them to compete much less win anything. Arizona however will be looking for a hot start and the ability to sneak up on the rest of the NL West powers while they overlook them. It could be a long year in Arizona but im sure it will be fun.
