NL West Notes: Segura trade, Padres minors manager resigns

When the Diamondbacks went on their little spending spree this winter, a couple of their moves appeared to be sure things. Fans were excited about bringing in Zack Greinke to headline their rotation. Trading for Shelby Miller was a bit shocking, but it signaled that they were going for it.

Acquiring Jean Segura? Not a move fans were 100 percent behind. Now, looking back on that trade, the Diamondbacks look like geniuses. Segura leads the National League leadoff hitters in hits, total bases and is fifth in batting average with a .335 mark.
