Rebuilding other teams! The 2016 Diamondbacks thread.

here are some guys who had crazy seasons with the d-backs:

matt williams had a season where he went off for 35 hr and 142 rbi

jay bell hit 38 HR and scored 132 runs that same season.

and also that year, steve finley hit 34 HR (hit 35 another year for them.)

chad tracy hit 27 hr a decade ago, slugged .553 and hit .308. no idea.

matt reynolds hit 44 hr for them.

troy glaus had one season with them and hit 37 HR (i've completely forgotten about his entire career tbh.)

similarly reggie sanders had one season with them and hit 33 HR.

chris young had a good rookie year with them. 32 HR.

eric byrnes finished with a placement somewhere in the MVP voting because of one year he had with them.

tony clark in 3/4ths of a season with them: 30 HR, 87 RBI, .304/.366/.636

and one pitcher as a bonus:

Ian Kennedy won 21 games for them in 2011.

i associated many of these players' big seasons with other teams in all honesty.

that ian kennedy fact straight killed me

i do not remember him being a dback and i do not remember him having a good season

also a weird result of getting into baseball in 2005 is that i think of troy glaus exclusively as a blue jay

junior spivey (i remember the name, but this is the first thing i can tell you about him) finished 14th in the mvp voting in 2002 thanks to his all-around fine season.

goldschmidt is such a unique, cool player

I think we can all agree that the 2017 Arizona Diamondbacks do not exist
