Arizona Dbacks 07 Midseason Update

The Arizona Diamondbacks started the new season in the newly redesigned uniforms. As of June 2007, Arizona is enjoying a degree of success so far.  The young team that includes Orlando Hudson, Chris Young, Brandon Webb, Miguel Montero, Stephen Drew, Carlos Quentin, Chad Tracy, Conor Jackson, and Mark Reynolds, who was called up from Double-A in May 2007, is now third in the division with .569 (41 wins versus 31 losses). The Arizona Diamondbacks are 21 – 15 at home and 20 – 16 on the road (as of June 20, 2000). They are only one game behind the Los Angeles Dodgers with .571 (41 – 30).

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ new season has started with the team attempting to win the National League West Division. The franchise’s greatest move in the offseason was when, on January 9, 2007, they got their 2001 World Series co-MVP (Most Valuable Player) back, pitcher Randy Johnson. He returned after a blockbuster deal with the Yankees, sending to New York relief pitcher Luis Vizcaino and 3 other prospects.

On June 8, 2007, the Arizona Diamondbacks optioned right-handed pitcher Brandon Medders to Triple-A Tucson as well as recalled right-handed pitcher Jailen Peguero from Tucson. Two days later, the team activated third basemen Chad Tracy from the fifteen-day disabled list. Infielder / outfielder Robby Hammock was optioned to Triple-A Tucson. On June 16, 2007, Arizona placed left-handed pitcher Randy Johnson on the fifteen-day disabled list. Right-handed pitcher Enrique Gonzalez was promoted from Triple-A Tucson. The Diamondbacks also purchased nonroster outfielder Aaron Cunningham from the White Sox for infielder Danny Richar.
