All Time Diamondbacks Roster

Saturday, February 3, 2024

 Through 2023.

 Largely, this is a focus on career regular season value, due to time considerations.  I'm doing this with the idea of a possible tournament, so I'm not just putting together the best 26 players, I'm trying to construct a roster.  Every spot has a backup, 16 position players/10 pitchers.  Making platoon considerations, each team has 2 dedicated closers, each bullpen has a lefty.  




Mgr. Bob Brenly 
(not the winningest manager, but Arizona has one WS and its under Brenly)

Starting Lineup v RH
C M.Montero   (L)
1B P.Goldschmidt
2B K.Marte (S)
SS S.Drew (L)
3B M.Williams
LF L.Gonzalez (L)
CF S.Finley (L)
RF D.Peralta (L)
DH J.Upton

Starting Lineup v. LH
C D.Miller
1B P.Goldschmidt
2B K.Marte (S)
SS N.Ahmed
3B M.Williams
LF AJ Pollock
CF C.Young
RF J.Upton
DH L.Gonzalez (L)

Reserves
1B C.Walker 
2B/3B J.Bell
3B/2B/SS C.Counsell (L)

Fairly noncontroversial, it's the top 15 Diamondbacks position players in Fangraphs WAR and a backup right handed hitting catcher.  

SP R.Johnson (L)
      B.Webb
      C.Schilling
      Z.Greinke 
      Z.Gallen

RP J.Valverde
      JJ Putz
      D.Haren
      P.Corbin (L)
      M.Kelly

The 7 top career WAR totals by baseball-reference, plus Corbin to get the needed lefty in the pen, and the two top career saves leaders.
