The Arizona Diamondbacks are 6-11, with 14 of those contests coming in their home ballpark. The team is near the bottom in every major offensive category (last in on-base-percentage) and also ranks near the bottom in many bullpen statistics. Brandon Webb has been shut down for another 3 weeks and now Stephen Drew - one of their more consistent players - is on the 15-day DL. Haren is 1-3 and most of their position players are batting in the low .200s or worse. Although it is easy to dismiss the start of the season to it being only 17 games (still 144 to go), most fans still look back to May 1, 2009 when the Diamondbacks were 20-8. Since then, the team has played 151 games - going 68-83. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers are playing good defense, pitching well, and hitting the ball - leading the NL West by 6.5 games over Arizona already.
It's early...but it's close to panic time for Arizona.
