Spring Training Links

I do this occasionally, but I like to remind you of some of the best places to follow updates and reports from Spring Training.  Typically I'll link to these if I see something Silver Hawks related, but if you want some general information about the Diamondbacks and other teams, these are the places to go.

-Obviously, the national websites like ESPN.com, Sportsline.com, and CNNSI.com have good info on the major league teams.

-The main team webpage is http://diamondbacks.mlb.com/.  This will have your basic information, news releases, etc.

-Steve Gilbert is the beat writer for the above site.  His blog is here:  http://taoofsteve.mlblogs.com/.  Right now he has more info on Clay Zavada being a no-show to camp.

-The main paper that covers the team is the Arizona Republic, and their specific Diamondbacks page can be found here:  http://www.azcentral.com/sports/diamondbacks/

-For more from the Republic's beat writer Nick Piecoro, here's his blog link:  http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/NickPiecoro/Page0

-If you want more Minor League info, try http://www.futurebacks.com/

-Finally, if you just want to follow the Silver Hawks, there are four great ways to do so:
1)  http://www.silverhawks.com/
2)  This blog, which I don't have to link to because you already found it
3)  www.facebook.com/southbendsilverhawks
4)  www.twitter.com/Silver_Hawks

Enjoy!

  1. I agree with the commentor who seemed to question the D backs talk of a new more disciplined approach for this season.I remember how our HS baseball coach taught us the importance of respecting the game.Players were afforded the opportunity to do a lot of extra running if caught without uniform shirts tucked in or hats turned backwards etc. Im surprised that the new manager who is bringing a renewed sense of discipline allows such a casual approach Perhaps he should instruct his coaches to help demand that the presentation of the players look professional in appearance or at least encourage the D-Back photographers from capturing the pros goofing off on film Somebody might be looking Maybe I am wrong and the large salaries entitle todays superstars immunity from doing it the RIGHT way
