Mark Reynolds was certainly adept at hitting Home Runs, and as a Diamondback, he hit 121 of them, including a 44 Home Run campaign in 2009.  His power puts him on this list, but his game was not multifaceted and was marred by many deficiencies.  Reynolds struck out in more than one-third of his plate appearances, and he exceeded 200 three times with Arizona, all of which were National League leading.  His 223 whiffs in 2009 remain a single-season record.  

Reynolds also made a lot of errors, as he was a league leader in that twice as a D-Back.  Despite that, his power game is strong enough to keep him on this list for a while.
