Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Arizona Diamondbacks.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.

Last year, the Diamondbacks had a good season, winning 89 Games, but they did not make the playoffs.  As the team has only existed for 27 years, there is ample opportunity for new players to enter the list, which occurred in this cycle with three new entries.

As always, we present our top five, which saw a change based on the new structure:

1. Randy Johnson

2. Paul Goldschmidt

3. Brandon Webb

4. Luis Gonzalez  

5. Curt Schilling

You can find the entire list here.

Based on our new system, Gonzalez overtook Schilling for the #4 spot.

Ketel Marte, who finished third in MVP voting, remained at #6, as the chasm was too large to surpass Schilling at #5.

Zac Gallen, who went 14-6 last season, shot up to #7 from #12.

First Baseman Christian Walker advanced to #16 from #22.

Merrill Kelly, who missed a large part of last season, still moved up two spots to #21.

Corbin Carroll did not have a good follow-up to his 2023 Rookie of the Year award, but he still moved up significantly from #38 to #28.

The three debuts are Infielder Geraldo Perdomo at #42, Catcher Gabriel Moreno at #45, and Outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. at #49.

Last year, Arizona shocked the world by not only making the playoffs, but competing in the World Series, though they fell to the Texas Rangers in five Games.  The 2023 Season, gave us one new entrant and several elevations.

Infielder, Ketel Marte, continued his rise, inching up one spot #6.

Starting Pitcher, Zac Gallen, climbed to #12 from #21.

Of note, Infielder, Nick Ahmed, who was released in August, actually fell a spot to #19.

First Baseman, Christian Walker, rose from #31 to #22.

Another Starting Pitcher, Merrill Kelly, jumped from #36 to #23.

The lone new entrant is the 2023 National League Rookie of the Year, Corbin Carroll, who debuts at #38.

Relief Pitcher, Andrew Chafin, who returned as a Free Agent, only to be traded late in the season to Milwaukee, did enough to move up two spots to #42.

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB. Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players, coaches and executives. As such, it is important to us that the

Arizona Diamondbacks have announced that Randy Johnson and Luis Gonzalez will be charter members of their franchise Hall of Fame.

An expansion team in 1998, the Diamondbacks shocked the world of sports when they defeated the powerful New York Yankees. Johnson was the co-World Series MVP (along with Curt Schilling) and Gonzalez delivered the Series-winning RBI.

Known as “The Big Unit”, Johnson spent eight seasons with Arizona over two runs (1999-2004 & 2007-08) and won three ERA Titles, five Strikeouts Titles and one Wins Title. He captured the Cy Young in four straight seasons (1999-02) and was a five-time All-Star as a Diamondback. He fanned 2,077 batters with a 118-62 record for the team.

Gonzalez began his MLB career in Houston in 1990 and after stops in Chicago (NL), Houston for a second time and Detroit, he joined the D-Backs in 1999, where he went to his first All-Star Game and led the National League in Hits (206). In addition to his World Series heroics, he added four more All-Stars, had five consecutive 100-RBI plus years (1999-2003), and smacked 224 Home Runs for the team.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Randy Johnson and Luis Gonzalez for earning this impending honor.

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top Arizona Diamondbacks.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Arizona was awful, but as this is a young team with high turnover, there were three new addition and other elevations.  

As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:

1. Randy Johnson

2. Paul Goldschmidt

3. Brandon Webb

4. Curt Schilling

Pitcher, and Arizona’s top player, Zac Gallen, shot up to #21 from #36.

Daulton Varsho, who is now with the Toronto Blue Jays, makes his first appearance at #44.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League. 

This is the first revision since we put up this list after the 2018 Season.

The complete list can be found here, but as always we announce our top five in this article.  They are:

1. Randy Johnson

2. Paul Goldschmidt

3. Brandon Webb

4. Curt Schilling

5. Luis Gonzalez

We slightly altered one of our algorithms and that has led to some slight changes to past Diamondbacks.  This altered the top five slightly, as Curt Schilling and Luis Gonzalez traded their fourth and fifth rank.

There were a few significant jumps.  Zack Grienke, who was traded during the 2019 Season to Houston, rose from #10 to #6.  Ketel Marte went from #44 to #13.  This shocked us too, but again, we are reminded that a top five MVP season in a team as young as the Diamondbacks can do that. Starting Pitcher, Robbie Ray, moved from #20 to #16. Third Baseman, Jake Lamb, climbed from #30 to #26.  Relief Pitcher, Archie Bradley went from #48 to #40.

We have several new entries.  Nick Ahmed debuts at #20.  While this seems like a seismic debut for the Shortstop, we erroneously left him off of our first list, of which he would have been on.  Venezuelan Infielder, Eduardo Escobar makes his first appearance at #43.  He joined the Diamondbacks during the 2018 season on a trade from Minnesota.  Lefthanded Relief Pitcher, Andrew Chafin comes in at #44.

We welcome your input and commentsand as always, we thank you for your support.

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Arizona Diamondbacks who won the World Series in 2001.

As for all of our top 50 players in basketball we look at the following: 

1. Advanced Statistics.

2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.

This list is updated up until the end of the 2017-18 Season.

The complete list can be found here, but as always we announce our top five in this article.  They are:

1. Randy Johnson

2. Paul Goldschmidt

5. Luis Gonzalez

We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.  Look for the Top 50 Chicago Blackhawks next.

As always we thank you for your support.

Luis Gonzalez was a good baseball player before he was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks but it was in the desert where he became an All-Star and the team’s premier offensive threat.

Another very interesting name eligible for the 2014 Baseball Hall of Fame vote is Luis Gonzalez. “Gonzo” has very good career numbers, with 2,591 Hits, 354 Home Runs and 1,439 RBI’s. His 48.0 career bWAR is nothing to sneeze at either. The question that arises with Gonzalez is the major spike in his power numbers in his 30’s and that he had his best seasons in his second decade in the Majors. Although his name has never been associated with PEDs, he is often lumped in that category. As it stands, Gonzalez is probably a bubble candidate before the alleged controversy. With that cloud over his head, who knows what voters will think.
