We take a flash back to the Diamondbacks after a strong 2011 season led to them being unlikely division winners, the team managed to slowly spiral its way back down to the laughing stock of the league. Along the way there were some successes and failures, a lot more failures than successes obviously, but there are things to take away from each.
Strong drafting led to a strong farm, bad trades can deplete a farm quickly
This is both a success and failure on the team’s part. Since 2011, the best player from the draft has been 3B Jake Lamb, who I think is one of the game’s best young players.
