Arizona Diamondbacks – is Colby Rasmus an upgrade?

Going forward for the Arizona Diamondbacks, upgrading the bullpen remains the principal priority. Despite the signing for Fernando Rodney last Friday, general manager Mike Hazen expressed interest in adding a left-handed bat to balance the Diamondbacks right-handed heavy lineup.

“I think being a little more left-handed could certainly help us,” Hazen said. “Pigeonholing it into one specific focus, I think, would be too complicated to try to pull off. I think we can be opportunistic about that.”

New manager Torey Lovullo could also use more corner outfield depth. For that reason, free agent Colby Rasmus would be a nice addition.
