The talented RotoRob, from RotoRob.com weighs in on free agency and the impact on fantasy baseball. In Part III of his ongoing series, he touches on the Diamondbacks free agents and their chances to return to sedona red:
Jeff Cirillo: The BoSox are seeking a role player to replace Eric Hinske and Cirillo could fit the bill. Florida also needs someone like this, but Cirillo is likely too old for a club that tends to focus on youth. Despite some key hits, Cirillo struggled badly after being claimed by the D-Backs, and barely wound up getting off the bench, so it's unclear if he has much left other than being a sparkplug.
Tony Clark: Apparently, Minnesota is desperate enough to be looking at Clark as a possible DH. The Twins also like Luis Gonzalez for that role, so assumedly Clark would be Plan B. Clark can still slap the occasional ball into the gap, and he is somewhat of a power threat, but surely Minny can find better options with actual upside. In reality, Clark is just a bench player at this stage; far too injury-prone for anything more. If being a DH helps keep him healthy, he has a shot to have some value. He isn't likely to return to Arizona, but could wind up on division rival Los Angeles.
Livan Hernandez: The Mets are talking with Hernandez, but they don't seem overly driven to land him. Washington is also a possibility, but the fact is that Hernandez's K rate has dropped so low that I'm quite sure his massive workload is finally catching up. He's an innings eater at best now.
Bob Wickman: The Pirates are shopping for bullpen help, but Wickman is probably too old and would command too much money for Pittsburgh's tastes. You've got to figure someone will grab him and give him yet another chance to close. The problem is, I have my doubts about his ability to handle a big workload anymore. He's no longer a closer worth spending much money on, from a fantasy perspective.
