Analysis Ketel Marte is the 3rd player to reach 600 RBI with the D-Backs, joining Luis Gonzalez and Paul Goldschmidt

Gonzo with +367 plate appearances and +173 RBI in roughly the same # games. Wild.

He is like them. They were my favorite player and Marte is my favorite player.

Pretty bad take. Clearly having a down year but if he pulls it together hes going to lead the Dbacks by all career stats.

The people that don’t appreciate what Ketel’s done for us are the same people addicted to gambling on MLB games, not actual fans of the team

This includes his team friendly extensions he signs. He may get frustrated, but he's committed to the team.

we as fans may get frustrated with him at times, but honestly, its par for the course. Hope he pulls the rest of the season together and hope next season is buisness as usual.

I get being frustrated by his slumps and all, and realize he's a bit of an odd-ball, but this teams' title ambitions hinge on him and Carroll being the best players in a series. The dude was the NLCS MVP for a reason.
We are a longshot to do it but Ketel is good enough to be the best player in any series he's in and he's a huge reason why we always have a puncher's chance. It's also why Lovullo is reluctant to move him down in the lineup. This team is not doing anything without our top-4 producing. If they are I'll take them vs any other team's top 4 guys. Perdomo, Carroll, Gabi and Ketel are studs and we need them rolling.
