For a number of weeks now we have been examining different ways in which the Diamondbacks might go about turning the current roster into a contending one. We have looked at some of the current models of success and compared how the Diamondbacks do or do not hold up against them. It would seem somewhat disingenuous though to ignore the franchise's own run of past success though. While the Cubs arrived in the playoffs a season early using their method, and the Royals just brought home the World Series trophy less than a week ago using theirs, the Diamondbacks too have had playoff success in the past, winning a World Series trophy of their own.
