Vlad Guerrero to Workout with D-backs’

by Matthew on April 29, 2012

It appears that a nine-time All-Star Vladimir Guerrero will get a shot at a workout with the Arizona Diamondbacks at their complex in the Dominican Republic

The reports lit up the wire shortly after D-backs general manager Kevin Towers made the announcement  during a television interview with FOX Sports Arizona on Sunday.

The 2004 AL MVP with the Los Angeles Angels, became a  free agent after hitting just .290 with 13 home runs and 63 RBIs in 145 games at Baltimore last year.  The lowest of his career.

Primarily a right fielder in his prime,  the 37-year old slugger has been used almost exclusively as a DH in his last three seasons.

Throughout his 16-year career , Guerrero has  449 homers and could bring some much-needed pop to a D-backs lineup that is missing one of its key components in Chris Young, who is on the bench with a slightly torn ligament in his right shoulder.

Guerrero has over 2,500 hits dating back to his rookie season in 1996.

Spread the Rumor!
