Brad Halsey pitched another nice game for the DBacks last night, holding the Padres to two runs over seven innings as Arizona went on to a 5-3 win over San Diego. It's giving me hope that the Diamondbacks will have a pretty good year. Take a look at how the DBacks starters are doing so far this season. Webb and Halsey are pitching very well. They're 5-0 combined. If those two can pitch well enough to be significantly over .500, the rest of the staff just has to tread water to have a chance at the playoffs. The real interesting pitcher on the list is Javier Vazquez. Look at his strikeout and walk numbers. Those are not the statistics of a pitcher with a 7.65 ERA. Quick and dirty DIPS gives him an ERA of 3.50. If Vazquez can improve that much over the course of the season, that would give the DBacks three more than solid starters, and that should be enough to compete.
