More photos » by Kathy Willens - AP Browse more photos » I think we can officially call the 2009 season of Atlanta Braves outfielder Matt Diaz a "breakout season." For all NL right-fielders with at least 100 plate appearances, Matt Diaz led the league in batting average and on-base percentage. He was behind six other players in slugging percentage in...

It ended in bizarro world, with the Atlanta Braves 90 feet from tying the game -- and 180 feet from winning it -- despite striking out 16 times, nine in a row. It ended with Matt Diaz, described by Bobby Cox as the Braves' best baserunner, paying the price for a moment's indecision on a passed ball and getting caught between third and home, snuffing a bases-loaded rally. It ended the...

... Phillies took a 12-10 lead into the ninth and even though Brad Lidge allowed a solo home run to Matt Diaz (a sign of things to come?), Lidge picked up the save. The game spoke so much about the story of the 2009 Phillies. Great offense, questionable pitching, and Brad Lidge giving up a run in a save situation. Who knew?

... idea that assuming the Braves get a "good" left fielder, they should plan on starting Matt Diaz in right (despite the defensive drop), and let him play right until Heyward is ready. Diaz can then spell both corner outfield spots and pinch hit. CBW: I don't think they should give him the job before Spring Training, or even after Spring Training. I think they should...

... years finally caused the team to cut ties in the middle of the 2009 season, forcing them to play Matt Diaz out of position in right field for the remainder of the year. While this transition has been unsettling, right field looks to be locked up again for the forseeable future very soon, as the top prospect in all of baseball looks poised to claim the starting job at some point in...

... they may plan to start Heyward at triple-A (where's he's only gotten a handful of at-bats), using Matt Diaz in right until Heyward is ready. Really, it's going to be a wait and see approach. If Heyward comes out and hits .350 next spring, then it's hard not to put him on the opening day roster. Of course, if he comes out and hits .150, the decision seems easy enough to send him to...

... is the way he handles Arbitration. Six players were arbitration eligible this past off-season: Matt Diaz, Jeff Francoeur, Kelly Johnson, Omar Infante, Mike Gonzalez, and Casey Kotchman.
