Zack Greinke was with the Arizona Diamondbacks for only three and a half years, but in that time frame in Arizona he has showcased some of the skills that helped him win a Cy Young Award as a Kansas City Royal in 2009.

Justin Upton was the number one draft pick in 2005 and to nobody’s surprise he was able to crack the Diamondbacks roster as a teenager.  Upton would quickly take over as team’s starting Leftfielder and in 2009 he was named a National League All-Star, a feat he would repeat for Arizona in 2011.  That was his best season for the Diamondbacks where he smacked 31 Home Runs with a .529 Slugging Percentage while finishing fourth in MVP voting.  Upton would also have two 20-20 seasons for Arizona, and had 739 Hits, 108 Home Runs before he was traded to the Atlanta Braves in 2013.

The signing of Steve Finley via free agency proved to be a fruitful one for the Arizona Diamondbacks as the Outfielder would put forth some of his best offensive seasons playing in Arizona.

The first seven seasons of the career of A.J. Pollock were with the Arizona Diamondbacks, where he may have displayed flashes of greatness, but was often known for injuries derailing complete seasons.
