"The Diamondbacks are in agreement on a new minor league contract with infielder Ildemaro Vargas, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. The MAS+ Agency client returns to the organization after being outrighted off the roster at the end of the season. Vargas has plenty of familiarity with the D-Backs. The veteran utilityman has played three separate big league stints and parts of six seasons in the desert."
"He got into 38 games this past season. Vargas hit .270 but only walked twice in 121 plate appearances, leading to a modest .292 on-base percentage. He's a .249/.289/.357 hitter over parts of nine MLB seasons. Defensive versatility has been Vargas' calling card. The majority of his experience has been at shortstop, but he saw more action between second and third base this year."
Ildemaro Vargas agreed to a new minor-league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks and returns after being outrighted off the roster. Vargas has three separate big-league stints and has spent parts of six seasons with the club, appearing in 38 games last season. He hit .270 with only two walks in 121 plate appearances for a .292 on-base percentage and carries a .249/.289/.357 line across parts of nine MLB seasons. Defensive versatility defines his profile, with most experience at shortstop but increased action at second and third. He is 34 and is likely headed to Triple-A Reno.
