According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, the Diamondbacks have signed utilityman Willie Bloomquist to a one-year, $1.05 million contract with a mutual option for 2012.
Way to upstage Geoff Blum. Of course, Bloomquist is a guy that can play all over the infield and outfield, but doesn't field any position particularly well. The 33-year-old still has decent speed, but he batted just .267/.299/.380 with three home runs and 17 RBI in 199 plate appearances between the Royals and Reds last season. He should be the last man off the bench for the D-Backs in 2011.
