The Whiff Kids!

The Phillies had the Whiz Kids in 1950.
The Diamondbacks have the Whiff Kids in 2010.
Arizona has five players, yes five, who have struck out at least 100 times this season, led by the modern day Dave Kingman, Mark Reynolds.
Here are the D-Backs Whiff Kids and their frighteningly impressive K totals.
Mark Reynolds with an astounding 171 whiffs.
Justin Upton / 142
Adam LaRoche / 131
Kelly Johnson / 110
Chris Young / 108
Maybe Arizona's management likes these strikeout machines. After all, the breeze helps keep the air conditioning bill down at their plane-hanger of a ballpark, whatever they call that place these days.
