After an emphatically strong and eye-opening finish to his 2015 season, Aledmys Diaz arrived in Jupiter and became the top new toy in spring training, especially after the Cardinals lost starting shortstop Jhonny Peralta to injury. The idea of Diaz taking ownership of the big club’s shortstop position by shooting line drives and coming up with magical defensive plays across Florida was exciting. Heck, the Cuban expatriate even had an instinct for the dramatic, getting four hits in his first start after Peralta suffered a torn ligament in his left thumb to go on the DL indefinitely.
