The Diamondbacks traded their best player, Justin Upton, to the Atlanta Braves in January in a seven-player deal that landed them MartinPrado, among others.
Before this season, the Arizona Diamondbacks took a step in the same direction by trading Justin Upton, who averages around 130 strikeouts per year, to the Braves for a package of players highlighted by MartinPrado, whose 90.4% contact rate was baseball's eighth-best in 2012.
