Ben Zobrist: While it is unfortunate Ben will hit free agency just next off season, he has a lot to bring to the team in 2015. With experience as a veteran and 2014 stats including .272/.354/.395, 10 Home Runs, and 155 hits, Zobrist is a solid player. The best thing Zobrist brings to the table? Versatility! He played both 2nd Base and Short Stop as well as 3 outfield positions. As a 2nd Baseman he would be a major upgrade to Sogard. But wherever he is played on the diamond, Zobrist truly delivers defensively. Added bonus? If things don’t go accordingly….trade value!
