Aledmys Diaz scouted by Blue Jays and others today.

[G-Snarls]

LOL @ "corridor of the heap" and "one arm above the average"

'Best known for its ability to bat for power and average, Diaz is considered a corridor of the heap with a arm above average and defense below average. Of the two leaflets (Alvarez and Diaz), is the most prepared is to play in the Big Tent."

 

' Known for his ability to hit for power and average, Diaz is considered a corridor of the heap with one arm above the average and defense below the average. Two leaflets (Alvarez and Diaz), is prepared is to play in the big tent.'

 

Works

 

Is this the way my english sounds for all of you? lol

 

Corredor, no corridor = runner

Gran Carpa = Big league, no big tent

[ElNik2013]

Corredor del monton = run-of-the-mill

[Smedley Butler]

Quickly Alex, get on the phone with his agent and play him to despair!

[The_DH]

Diaz faked his birth certificate to not get into the international sign system (under 23 years old) and be an unrestricted free agent, with that move, he could sign for any kind of money.

 

He was suspended for long period of time and now he's over 23 years old.

 

 

Blue Jays depth 2B future:

Franklin Barreto - R

Andy Burns - Utility guy

Christian Lopes - Can't run, no discipline

Smith Jr - New in the position

 

When did Smith jr move to 2b? I really like your posts by the way.

This season , possibly

 

Smith Jr 21

2013: A (10% BB, 17% K, .104 ISO, 25 SB and 117 wRC+)

 

MIF Bat

He took reps there last season. His tools fit best at 2B. It is hearsay but apparently he's going to shift to the infield. We'll have to wait and see to be certain though.

I agree he profiles more like a 2b. It's more common for a guy to go from the if to the of though. Would be funny if he's the one who eventually makes it.

"Cardinals held a private workout for free agent Cuban shortstop Aledmys Diaz on Wednesday. They are expected to make a formal offer very soon."

 

Game over

Watch the Jays spending a s*** load of money on one of these unknown Mexicans instead of a proven MLB starter.

I for one would be quite pumped if we got Diaz

Racist.......... Sometimes you sound like a German!

[The_DH]

If we won't sign somebody we need now then why will we get into a bidding war for a future player?

[JJippidy]

Hipócrita!

[z3r0s]

Torres indicated that his client would focus his decision on maximizing dollars and opportunity. "We know he's going to be in the major leagues," said Torres. "It's only a matter of time. His preference is shortstop, but he's played second and third and I'm sure would be comfortable playing whatever position is necessary."

 

Good sign at least. I assume you could make sure he knows that Reyes won't be a shortstop forever if he is really set on getting an eventual shot at SS.

Starting 2B job wide open, chance to slide to SS in the near future, oft-injured left side of the infield will provide opportunities in the short term as well. That's not a bad gig.

And a hitter's park. Now all we have to do is make his agent despair and we're golden.

[Jim_Ackers_balls]

I heard this guy's bat is not worth having. Think Hech.

I've read the same. His Cuban stats translate horribly to MLB.

Pls stop referring to Cubans as Mexicans...at least go with unknow Caribbean players, they are literally nothing alike, whereas the latter are.

Maybe some article that was linked up with MLB Trade Rumors from sometime last year. I can't quite recall.

That article paints a pretty good picture for Diaz' bat, compares favourably to Yunel Escobar and Alexei Ramirez at the same age.

at what point do the blue jays stop wasting money sending scouts to see players they never intend on paying for?
