Right now, though – and even though it doesn’t count a lick – we’re champing at the bit for the first pitch at today’s Diamondbacks/Cleveland Indians exhibition at the Indians’ $100 million new digs, Goodyear Ballpark. The match-up marks the D-Backs’ 2009 Valley debut, and is a highlight of the first full week of Cactus League 2009.
