Arizona Diamondbacks

While 2001 was quite thrilling

Last year was not so fulfilling.

Add Dessens’ acquisition

To Kim’s new transition:

The coalition of the Randy and Schilling.

San Francisco Giants

With wintertime’s painful lament,

Some Giants have packed up their tent.

Durham, Cruz and Grissom

Will help fans not miss ’em;

Alfonzo will proxy for Kent.

Los Angeles Dodgers

Their arms will be really on track

If Dreifort and Brown can come back.

Though they rise from the rubble,

Pitching’s not LA’s trouble,

It’s their feeble offensive attack.

Colorado Rockies

Dan O’Dowd should be admired

For the players that he just acquired.

He was once too aggressive

But this winter’s impressive:

The Hampton dump was Justin Speiered.

San Diego Padres

Since Nevin and Hoffman got sore,

They’ll focus on 2004.

Perez, Peavy, Eaton,

And Lawrence will sweeten

Petco Park: need I say more?
