Managing General Partner Ken Kendrick says all areas of the organization are under review – including GM Josh Byrnes on down to the players.

“When the team is playing as badly as this team is,” he said, “and we’ve had a consistent period of questionable performance going back into a full season last year and the second half of the ‘08 season, you really need to look very broadly at everything and try to objectively determine what kind of changes you really want to make. We’re going to go through that process.”

The team is currently 20-34 and the core group of players might not be together much longer.

“We can’t keep going down the same path and adding a piece here and there to this team that has not had success recently,” Diamondbacks President and CEO Derrick Hall said. “Collectively there’s just something missing.”

“We’ve relied on a core group of young guys,” Kendrick said. “They’re not all the same guys, but we’re in the third or fourth year with guys who were anticipated, as a group, would move along and mature and become better performers, and collectively it hasn’t happened at the level we would have expected.”

Nick Piercoro of The Arizona Daily Republic says that the team may start changing its roster immediately.

“We’re going to have to look at the budget and at doing business a little differently,” Hall said. “Sticking with the same guys year after year when their salaries are going up and we’re not getting results, that’s not efficient or responsible.”
