As the MLB off-season unfolds, projections from ZiPS and Steamer are being analyzed at Arizona Diamondbacks On SI, focusing on the performance expectations for each member of the team. The site aims to provide a comprehensive overview of players by averaging projections and assessing individual contributions based on rate statistics and playing time.

The evaluation extends beyond the 26-man roster typically utilized on Opening Day, encompassing the entire 40-man roster and including promising minor-leaguers and prospects that may impact the Diamondbacks' 162-game season.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are well-equipped with starting pitchers as they approach the 2025 season, which may lead to innovative strategies for utilizing their depth. With five established starters and promising prospects, the team faces a decision regarding Drey Jameson, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Jameson, expected to return by Spring Training, may transition to a relief role instead of starting, given his extended absence from competitive play. The Diamondbacks have already experimented with him in the bullpen, and his previous performances suggest he could adapt well to this new position.
