It has become harder to find power in the post-steroid era, which is why the Arizona Diamondbacks traded for Mark Trumbo last week.
Kevin Towers will live with Trumbo's high strikeout total and low on-base percentage if he brings 30-plus home runs and close to 100 RBIs.
"Just looking at the West, and looking at the National League and looking at the free agent market going forward, I just don't know where you're going to find power," Towers said. "If 180 strikeouts translates into 40 homers and 150 or 120 RBIs, and Goldie has another [Paul] Goldschmidt type year, we'll be happy with those two big right-hand bats in the lineup.
"With power is going to come with strikeouts. Just didn't want to have an entire lineup, or two-thirds of our lineup that was all lots of strikeouts, and I think we don't have that."
Trumbo hit .234/.294/.453 with 34 home runs, 100 RBIs and 184 strikeouts in 2013.
