We know 2010 was a tough year for the Arizona Diamondbacks.  There were some ups but mostly downs.  Some moves in the off-season and in-season were made for the benefit of the future, some made because dead weight had to be moved.  Here is my list of the five players from the 2010 roster I will not miss.

In reality, the Arizona Diamondbacks play 162 games, just as many as every other Major League Baseball team.  The 2010 season though feels oh so different for the Dbacks and their fans.  To me at least, it seems like the Dbacks played about 1162 games.

I will break down the roster position by position later in the week once the season has officially concluded and provide my opinions on who should stay and who should go for the Dbacks.  For now, my awards for the 2010 season.

MVP:  Adam Laroche

This is a tough pick.  I easily could have said Chris Young, Kelly Johnson, or Daniel Hudson.  Young was my mid-season MVP.  Unfortunately his batting average suffered a little in the second half of the season.  Laroche provided the power I expected him to provide, albeit he got a late start to things.  Better late than never.  I said when he signed in the off-season, if he could hit at least 25 home runs and 100 RBI, it would be considered a success.  There was a chance he was going to get traded before the deadline in July, however now it appears an extension may occur instead.  I say good move!
