Cardinals' Aledmys Diaz: Continues white-hot start to rookie campaign

Diaz extended his hitting streak to seven games Wednesday by going 2-for-4 with his fourth homer, a walk, two RBI and three runs against the Diamondbacks.

He's been absolutely explosive whenever given the chance to hit this year, as Diaz now owns a simply ridiculous .468/.500/.823 batting line that would make even Barry Bonds jealous. Of course, there's essentially no chance he can keep up anything even vaguely resembling this -- we're talking about a guy who put up a .278/.339/.445 line across two stops in the minors last season, and once Jhonny Peralta (hand) is ready to return around midseason, it's hard to see where Diaz plays. That said, there's no reason not to pick him up and enjoy the ride right now.
