2010 Diamondbacks Projected Roster and Payroll
D'Backs' Venom — The Diamondbacks made several transactions during the last few days, and we now have a pretty good idea about the projected roster for 2010.

Outfielders Trent Oeltjen and ...

Arizona apparently has a great first-base prospect in Brandon Allen(notes) but the team doesn't want to bring him up just yet. Overbay will be an able placeholder if the deal goes through. The 28-year-old Snyder would replace Rod ...
