The Meltdown:

Arizona Diamondbacks Edition

The Arizona Diamondbacks maybe out of the postseason but that doesn’t mean they aren’t busy.  Newly hired General Manager Dave Stewart and Manager Chip Hale are getting to work evaluating their roster and developing prospects.  One of the prospects the Diamondbacks brain trust will be watching in the Arizona Fall League is Archie Bradley.  The pitching prospect is progressing but it seem the Diamondbacks are content with letting the youngster develop in time.

Chip Hale also got to work rounding out the rest of his major league staff hiring Mark Grace as the Diamondbacks hitting coach.

From Dbacks.com:  Arizona Diamondbacks Archie Bradley Honing Skills In AFL

"Bradley was a three-sport star at Broken Arrow High School and came oh so tantalizingly close to becoming the quarterback at the University of Oklahoma. But baseball beckoned with a louder call, accompanied by quicker and perhaps even better money than football likely would have brought, and certainly less wear and tear on the body. Still, Bradley wonders … what it might have been like to play for the Boomer Sooners."

From AZCentral.com: Kevin Towers Reveals Why He left

"Last Thursday, Kevin Towers was watching postseason baseball in his Arizona home when his immediate future became clear to him. He knew he needed to move on from the Diamondbacks instead of accepting another, unspecified role in the front office."

From ESPN: Mark Grace Named To Diamondbacks Staff

"Grace, who played 16 seasons in the majors and is a former Diamondbacks television analyst, was hitting coach for Arizona’s Class A affiliate Hillsboro last season. Green managed the Diamondbacks’ Double-A team in Mobile, Alabama, the last three seasons."
