When looking at rankings, we have to include some context so the figures are not manipulated or looked at improperly. With the Diamondbacks, the entire rankings aren't that bad, however it could be because of a couple of important areas that they are overachieving in. They're the No. 1 team in the National League in fielding percentage, at.993. Those unearned runs in many cases are the difference between winning and losing 10-15 games per year. That's a massive deal. That wonderful defense overcomes a lot of poor bullying, which brings us to another level. The starting pitching, thought to be a strength, has been terrible towards the top. Ian Kennedy is 1-2 with a 5.47 ERA. Brandon McCarthy is 0-2 with a 7.06 ERA. Even Trevor Cahill, along with his respected 3.60 ERA, is 0-3. This team shows no pace on the basepaths, with as a in 18 games just five. But, as with the fielding preserving the pitching to a degree, the opportunistic Diamondbacks have scored runs in other ways. They're No. 1 in the National League in compromise flies (9).
