Doug Davis played for the Arizona Diamondbacks for three seasons (2007-09) where he would have a career high 13 Wins in his first season for Arizona.  Davis was not known for his control as he walked a lot of batters (he was the league leader in 2009) but was a constant in the Diamondbacks rotation and would eat a lot of innings.  He won 28 Games with 402 Strikeouts for Arizona.

As we are writing this (and you reading this) we want to remind you of two things.

The first is that relatively the Arizona Diamondbacks have not been around for very long.

Wade Miley’s professional career began in the desert as a late First Round Pick in 2008.  Miley made his D-Back debut three years later, and in his first full season, the Louisiana native had one of his best seasons in Major League Baseball.  Winning 16 Games, Miley was an All-Star and boasted a respectable 3.33 ERA.  He also finished second in Rookie of the Year voting to Bryce Harper.

Miley was unable to duplicate that successover the next two seasons, and he was traded to the Boston Red Sox.  Overall, Miley won 38 Games and fanned 499 batters in Arizona.
