Nate Sudfeld, a 6-foor-5, 220 pound quarterback from Modesto Christian High School in Modesto, Calif. committed to the Wildcats.

Who will lineup under center for the Arizona Cardinals? It’s a question that has been asked more times than “what’s the meaning of life?” with even less clarity on what the answer actually is. Wednesday Sports Illustrated’s Peter King took his shot at shedding some light on that quandry and brought up a familiar name. […]
Phoenix Suns fans may think they know Steve Nash, but they’re about to get a whole new perspective on the point guard. “Nash,” a documentary set to be released in late 2011/early 2012, will give fans an inside look into the two-time MVP’s life. According to Suns.com, though, it almost didn’t happen. “He was a […]
PHOENIX – The Arizona Diamondbacks are believed to be in the market for a reliever that can lock down the seventh inning of games and protect a lead. One ESPN analyst thinks Chicago Cubs’ Kerry Wood would be an excellent addition for the Diamondbacks. “That would be a perfect fit there. It makes more than […]
PHOENIX – The Arizona Diamondbacks announced that they selected an additional 16 pitchers in rounds 2-30 of Major League Baseball’s First-Year Player Draft today, according to D-backs’ Director, Scouting Ray Montgomery.

Larry Fitzgerald is known for a lot of things, such as his amazing ability to snatch footballs from the air like a frog grabs a fly, his long flowing hair and his affable nature. One thing Fitzgerald doesn’t get nearly enough attention for is the great work he does for charities across the country. Whether […]
PHOENIX – The Arizona Diamondbacks first round selection Trevor Bauer could be making an impact for the Major League team sooner than expected. The third overall pick of the 2011 MLB Draft believes he can get big-league hitters out. “Confidence-wise I’m sure I can do it. I’m fully confident I can be competitive against Major […]
Trevor Bauer, who the D-backs picked with the third overall selection in the 2011 MLB Draft, is a little unconventional. From the time he takes the mound each inning and throws his first warmup selection to every pitch he throws, he’s just a little…different. And that’s fine, according to the Sports Interactive crew. “This guy’s […]
When Esmerling Vasquez hit Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa in the top of the 8th inning Sunday, both he and manager Kirk Gibson were ejected. A warning had been issued to both clubs earlier in the game, meaning if an umpire felt a pitcher threw at a hitter he and his skipper would be kicked […]
Larry Fitzgerald knows the Arizona Cardinals need to improve. After going 5-11 last season, so does everyone else. However, as has often been a theme of this off-season, concerns that today’s decisions could affect the Pro Bowler’s future in Arizona were brought up. Fitzgerald, though, pretty much said the plan is to stay in Arizona. […]
The lockout has put a halt to more in the NFL than a pileup on the I-10 does to people’s drive home. No free agency, no trades, and no team workouts. That doesn’t mean Arizona Cardinals Pro Bowl receiver Larry Fitzgerald isn’t still all business despite none of it getting done around the league. While […]
With the NBA draft fast approaching names are starting to emerge that the Phoenix Suns may have interest in. Guys like Jeremy Hazell, Klay Thompson and Jordan Hamilton have all been mentioned and will be in town Friday for Workouts. One name not included in that list that fans should keep an eye on is […]
A team holding a pair of picks in the top 10 of the draft has a lot of pressure not to mess up. It is a golden opportunity to add quality youth to the organization, securing players who could make a great impact at some point in the future. Well, the Arizona Diamondbacks didn’t mess […]
If you’re in your late teens and early twenties now-a-days when something important happens in life you turn to social media to share it with your friends, family and the world. For the Arizona Diamondbacks two first round picks, Trevor Bauer and Archie Bradley, it’s no different. Within hours of being selected by the club […]
If it seemed like Cardinals QBs were constantly running for their lives last season, your eyes deceived you a little bit. But not much. According to ProFootballFocus, Arizona ranked 22nd in the NFL in pressure-per-passing play, with a rush coming 39.25% of the time. By their count, Arizona dropped back to pass 642 times, with […]
After a highly contested series with the Washington Nationals that saw more players get hit than an NFL game, it’s no surprise people are starting to wonder about the Arizona Diamondbacks reputation. “Are the Arizona Diamondbacks becoming ‘that team’? Do they have ‘that’ reputation? Last year was horrible,” Dave Burns said on Sports 620 KTAR’s […]
One year ago, when the Diamondbacks selected pitcher Barret Loux out of Texas A&M with the sixth pick in the draft, many wondered why the team reached with such an important selection.

With the third pick in the 2011 MLB first year player draft, the Arizona Diamondbacks select…Trevor Bauer, right-handed pitcher from UCLA.

For the first time, we have a name that general manager Kevin Towers and the club could have interest in. Sports 620 KTAR’s John Gambadoro thinks […]
First he’s the next great quarterback, needing only an opportunity to show his stuff. Then, suddenly, he’s overrated, a mediocre-at-best signal caller who crumbles under pressure and can’t complete a deep ball. Trying to determine Kevin Kolb’s value during the lockout has been like Derek Anderson trying to be an NFL quarterback: an exercise in […]
Klay Thompson is a prospect most Suns fans should recognize. For the past three years this elite shooting guard has been lighting up the Pac-10 with Washington State. As a scorer from the shooting guard position Thompson has it all. His shooting range extends to the NBA three and beyond. It is a shot that […]
Jordan Hamilton is a 6-8 sophomore wing from Texas who can play both the shooting guard and small forward positions. Hamilton is a five-tool basketball player (to steal a baseball reference), he can shoot, create, rebound, defend and play multiple positions. On the basketball court he is a perfect basketball player who can do anything […]
Jeremy Hazell is a 6-5 senior shooting guard out of Seton Hall. He is a little older (25) than most of the current draft class, when drafted on potential it is rare teams take prospects in their mid-twenties. The NBA is a scorer’s league and the one thing Hazell displayed with consistency during his tenure […]
