DBacks to bring back Clark?

Just saw this:

With Upton going on the DL, Byrnes out for the season, something needs to happen. We need to make a move if we want to go deep in the playoffs, let alone win the division. I say bring both Clark and Bonds. Clark was the leader of this team and at a rough time like this his presence would be huge.

Oops. While you were posting this, I just made reference to it in the Richie Sexon thread.

Tony Clark back with the D'backs as a switch-hitting pinch hitter, sometimes 1B and clubhouse presence.

I'd like to see it happen.

It would be nice. However, if this is our power bat that we need, then I still say we fail. He will definitely help in the clubhouse and on the field, but he really wont help us make a huge turnaround. We need another solid bat.

Tony Clark is not the savior? From opinions of D-back fans that I've read all over the 'net, the consensus says that he is!

Go

Id rather have Sesxon and his 1.000 OPS vs lefties. With him at 1st vs lefties and Tracy vs righties our 1st base spot in the line up is MEAN

I don't think anyone believes that Tony Clark will be a savior.

That's the problem with the D'backs. It seems to be all or nothing. Wait for the homerun, instead of putting together rallies with singles and doubles.

Tony Clark would be a very good influence in the clubhouse and with our young players (as he was). A pinch-hitter and platoon 1B with power. That's all. A step in the right direction at this time.

Excellent take, couldn't have said it better myself.
