Who might become the Diamondbacks’ Mike Trout?

This week, Mike Trout signed an extension which looks set to keep him an Angel in the outfield until the end of his career. Also this week, rubbing salt into the wound of his trade earlier this winter, Paul Goldschmidt, signed a five-year extension with his new team in St, Louis. Every fanbase wants to have a “face of the franchise”, a player who spends his entire career with the team. But in these days of free agency, it’s harder than it looks, with most players following the money, understandably. Still, you might be surprised to learn that 55 players - 32 pitchers and 23 position players - have spent their entire major-league careers to this point with the Diamondbacks.
