"The fast and furious pace of last year's winter meetings was absent Monday for the Diamondbacks, who swung no major deals and agreed to terms with no big-name free agents on Day 1 at the sprawling Hilton Anatole.

Instead, they found themselves having to sit back and wait.

Diamondbacks General Manager Kevin Towers said he was scheduled to meet with Steve Hilliard, the agent for Lyle Overbay, on Monday night. He was expecting Hilliard to relay word on whether Overbay would accept or decline the club's one-year offer to be their backup first baseman."
