The Oakland A’s have been waiting for Jordan Diaz to develop into the type of player that could stick at a corner infield spot. He showed a strong approach at the plate and a knack for putting the bat on the ball, but his lack of power led to questions about his future position. He did not have the profile, nor the arm, for a corner infielder, and his lack of speed made him a questionable fit at second.
