1B Paul Goldschmidt spent three weeks with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic and was the starter in the first game of pool play against Colombia, but his role diminished as the tournament continued. He had one hit in 13 at-bats and did not play in the final three games, although he believes it will not affect his readiness for Opening Day. "It's a little different than playing every day, but everyone has their role on a team, and that's what mine ended up being," Goldschmidt said. "I just tried to be ready if I had to pinch-hit."

1B Paul Goldschmidt continued to add to his game by stealing a career-high 32 bases to go along with his typical production numbers -- a .297/.411/.489 slash line with 24 homers, 95 RBIs, 33 doubles and 110 walks. Goldschmidt said he never thought he would have 30 stolen bases in a season. "It just kind of happened. It wasn't a goal," he said. "If there is an opportunity to get to the next base, just try to take it. Try to get a good jump and score a run." Goldschmidt was one homer short of being one of three major-leaguers with 25 homers and 25 stolen bases.

Others were Pittsburgh's Barry Bonds and Andy Van Slyke (1987), the Mets' Howard Johnson and Darryl Strawberry (1987), Colorado's Ellis Burks and Dante Bichette (1996), Houston's Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell (1997) and Toronto's Jose Cruz and Raul Mondesi (2001).
