Good for the Clubhouse, but Good for the Team?

The Arizona Diamondbacks are thinking about bringing back Livan Hernandez, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.

Hernandez had an ERA north of five last season, but they cite how he'd be good in the clubhouse and works well with Miguel Montero.

I'm always torn on players like this. I think there is something to be said to have good clubhouse chemistry, and veterans bring that with them (most times). However, how much of a leader in the clubhouse can you be if you aren't a leader on the field? And how can you lead on the field if you lose more than you win and have horrible stats?
