Arizona Diamondbacks by KearnsT

The first selection in the 1997 MLB Expansion Draft was this left-handed starting pitcher taken from the Cleveland Indians.

This Wright State attendee and current Rays TV color commentator had been selected 3rd overall by the then-California Angels in the 1993 MLB entry draft and would re-sign with the Indians in 2003. Name him.

Two weeks following the draft, the Diamondbacks traded three players to the Detroit Tigers for Travis Fryman, who would never play a game for them. For what third baseman and 1994 NL Home Run champion was Fryman (along with Tom Martin and cash) traded on December 1, 1997?

If it's any help, your smith has a ball in the Nationals Wall of Fame secretly commemorating his firing. 10-5-15 4ever.

The first manager in Diamondbacks history has a history of leaving teams immediately before they win titles, which should be good news to fans of his current team should he leave anytime soon. Despite finishing with a winning percentage of .514 for an expansion team, he did not, in fact, stop in Arizona past the 2000 season. Name this manager who has won manager of the year on three occasions, with three different American League teams.

Chase Field wasn't always Chase Field. Give the original, but no less corporate, name for the stadium. The palindromic acronym by which it was known will also be accepted.

Two legendary members of the 2001 Diamondbacks were teammates on the 1989 Baltimore Orioles AND 1991 Houston Astros.

In between, they were part of one of the most lopsided trades in recent history, being traded alongside Pete Harnisch to the Astros for Glenn Davis. Please name BOTH these two 1989 Orioles/1991 Astros/2001 Diamondbacks, who were named, respectively, on 0.7% and 38.8% of 2013 Hall of Fame ballots.

A third member of the 2001 Diamondbacks was also a member of the 1991 Astros and remains the franchise's all time leader in career home runs 224 and virtually every other offensive counting stat category (hits, runs, RBIs, doubles, BBs). Name him.

In Game 7 of the 2001 World Series, the Diamondbacks used three pitchers. The first and third won co-World Series MVPs. Name the second of these three, who started game 5 of the World Series and then threw 1/3 of an inning in between the legendary aces.

Like the player in question number 12, this right-handed pitcher is best known for his itinerant baseball lifestyle. At the time he retired (following the 2000-2002 seasons with the Diamondbacks), this player held the record (since broken by Octavio Dotel) for having played for the most Major League franchises (12). Because of his conversion to a reliever in 2000-2002, the Diamondbacks can lay claim to the most appearances of any of these franchises. Name this pitcher, the fourth pick of the 1978 MLB entry draft.

The 2004 Diamondbacks had a legendarily bad season, losing 111 games. Their opening day second baseman you probably won't remember as a Diamondback, since he lasted merely 38 games there. Nor do you likely remember him as a member White Sox, even though that is the team from whom Arizona both acquired him and to whom they traded him, both in 2004. Name this Hall of Fame second baseman.

No pitcher has yet recorded 100 career saves with the Diamondbacks, leaving this Dominican native's 98 career saves as the franchise record. Name this right-hander who pitched for the Diamondbacks from 2003-2007.

This Kentucky native won one Cy Young award and placed second on two other occasions, but his career came to a disappointing end after an early departure from his opening day start on 2009. He underwent three shoulder surgeries and ultimately decided to retire in 2013, having never pitched for any team but the Diamondbacks. Name him.

The Diamondbacks have, in their short history, thrown two no-hitters. One was Randy Johnson's perfect game. The other was a stunning June 25, 2010 no-hitter by a pitcher who no-hit one of his (even then) many former teams. In the game, he walked a whopping 8 batters and hit one for good measure. Name this 2009 All-Star and 2010 Arizona Diamondback, who was traded to the Chicago White Sox a month later.

On December 11, 2012, the Diamondbacks were part of a three-team trade with Cincinnati and Cleveland. That trade involved players who now play for four different teams Arizona might face in the playoffs (Cleveland, New York, Houston, Washington).

The Diamondbacks dealt three pitchers (Bryan Shaw, Trevor Bauer, and Matt Albers) to the Cleveland Indians, who in turn dealt a first baseman and a left-handed reliever to the Diamondbacks. The Reds then sent a shortstop to the Diamondbacks. Name any ONE of these three players received by the Diamondbacks in this trade, two of whom now play for other playoff teams.

The 2016 Diamondbacks were hampered by injury from the very beginning. Most crushing, perhaps, was the broken elbow suffered by this 2015 All-Star in the final game before the regular season began. Name this outfielder.

In less than 7 major league seasons, this current Diamondback had already become the all-time leader in MLB RBIs from a player born in the state of Delaware (take that, Delino DeShields!). Name this five-time All-Star.
