Diamondbacks will payout $6.8 million for Braves duo

With the addition of former Atlanta Braves' players Adam LaRoche and Kelly Johnson, the Diamondbacks will shell out an extra $6.8 million in 2010.

In a few weeks, we'll be able to head for Tucson Electric Park (for the last time, I must add) to see the Diamondbacks and the two newcomers perform. It has been a Who's on First scenario the last couple of months by the Diamondbacks' powers-to-be, but finally it looks like LaRoche is now numero uno on the Arizona depth chart at first base with Conor Jackson penciled in as number two and Brandon Allen in the three hole. Johnson will fall into the top spot at second base, leaving the steady Ryan Roberts to settle in at number two. Of course, the Diamondbacks also have the dependable Augie Ojeda in the dugout. That's a plus.

Spring training is just around the corner. I'm getting antsy.
