5) Nori Aoki – Outfielder

The outfielder will turn 33 years old on Jan. 5 and is a career .287 hitter over his three major league seasons. Aoki is capable of hitting a handful of homeruns, but is not exactly a potent power threat with a career high of 10 in 2012, although he only notched one last season with Kansas City.

The Japanese-born Aoki struggled in the playoffs this year, hitting only .195 which raises some red flags. Despite those struggles, he represents a low-cost, serviceable outfielder and as I mentioned in an earlier piece, he could be a good fit for the Cincinnati Reds.
