They opened the 2011 season as the defending World Series champions on March 31, 2011.

Regular season

Coming off the team's 2010 World Series success and his two-year, $22 million contract, Aubrey Huff arrived at 2011 spring training out of shape.[1][2] His OPS dropped 215 points from the previous season to .676, last among Major League first baseman in 2011.[1][3][4] Well-intentioned fans sent him thongs throughout the season in hopes of improving his fortunes.[3] Huff was accountable for his struggles contributing to the team's failure to return to the playoffs in 2011.[1][2]
