"Diamondbacks General Manager Kevin Towers arrived in Dallas for this week's winter meetings believing that if he made no other moves he'd still be comfortable starting the season with his roster as currently constructed.

It's something Towers has said often enough that it makes you wonder whether the Diamondbacks might have a slow week at the Hilton Anatole.

They still have a handful of irons in the fire - namely, finalizing their rotation, adding a reliever (perhaps) and getting an answer from free agent Lyle Overbay, whom they would like to be their backup first baseman - but Towers believes he's operating from a position of strength, knowing that, unlike last season, his team isn't in dire need of upgrades."
