Adam Kennedy & Diamondbacks?

Orlando Hudson said he probably is not coming back next year, so who is going to play second base? Can you see them moving Mark Reynolds there? What free agent might they go after?

Ken, I don't think moving Reynolds to second is their first option. That would open up a hole at third, and I believe the organization feels it would be easier to find a second baseman either via free agency or a trade than it would be to find a third baseman.

As far as free agent second basemen go, I think they will target Texas' Ramon Vazquez, who is a good fit for them on a number of different levels. First, he's a left-handed hitter, which would help balance the lineup, and he's also relatively affordable. If you're looking at getting someone in a trade, I'd keep an eye on the Cardinals' Adam Kennedy.
