Phoenix -- Infielder Geoff Blum was given a two-year deal by the Arizona Diamondbacks Monday.
The National League club didn't say how much it will pay Blum, who hit .267 with two home runs and 22 RBI in 93 games for the Houston Astros last season. He's a .251 career hitter in 12 big-league seasons.
His 11 pinch-hit RBI were the fourth best in the league, while his 14 pinch hits in just 42 pinch-hit at-bats were tied for seventh in the league.
Arizona General Manager Kevin Towers said Blum was brought in to give Manager Kirk Gibson more flexibility.

San Diego -- Arizona Diamondbacks vice president for player development AJ Hinch was named Friday to replace fired Manager Bob Melvin.
Rick Schu, the team's hitting coach, also was fired after Thursday's 4-3, 10-inning loss to San Diego, while pitching coach Bryan Price resigned in anger.
"I believe that Bob is an outstanding major league manager," Price told MLB.com. "It tears my heart out that he's not managing this ball club anymore."
Hinch, a 34-year-old former major league catcher during a seven-year career, has helped guide the organization's young stars like infielders Stephen Drew and Mark Reynolds, pitchers Chris Young, Micah Owings and Tony Pena and outfielder Justin Upton.
