Scouting Report: Diaz is an elite defensive shortstop, and could compete for a gold glove in the bigs right now.  He has plus range, excellent footing, an impressive glove, and an outstanding  arm.  Makes impossible plays in the field.  An inordinate amount of errors in 2008 have largely been attributed to off-the-mark long throws off of grounders that Diaz had no business getting to in the first place.  The key for Diaz is how much he will hit.  He's a slap hitter with average on base ability and without much power, but he's swung the bat very well during a few prolonged stints here and there.  Hits lefties significantly better than righties.  Excellent at laying down bunts.  Speed on the basepaths isn't much to speak of.
