The Diamondbacks should sign Justin Upton

Look, I know what you're thinking upon reading this headline: "Wow, has Clefo spent this past week bedridden with the flu and now the madness has taken hold?" You'd be partially right, but it is an interesting thought exercise. Actually, a few of them. The first thought exercise is "Who won't read beyond the headline and post some diatribe in the comments either peeing on Kevin Towers' GM grave or a rant about Upton's playing that veers uncomfortably."

The second is looking at the current free agent class through a clear lens, and how Upton could fit in with this year's team and improve it, and I would argue that a player like Upton would be a clear improvement for the 2016 Diamondbacks.
