Matt Diaz has announced — on his own blog — that he’s retiring:
I’m moving on in my life from playing baseball. Notice, I didn’t say, I
was done with baseball! How could anyone who loves the game ever “be done.”
And certainly I love the game! I love the way it taught me to fail and get
over it. I love the way it helped me become the man I am today. I love the
way it’s provided for me and my family. There’s so much to love about this
game. I just don’t love playing it anymore, and that’s how I know it’s
time to not pursue a job playing this year.
Diaz hit .290/.338/.429 in 11 years with the Devil Rays, Royals, Braves,
Pirates and Marlins. He was mostly a bench/platoon guy, though he happened to
have his best season as a major leaguer in the year he got the most playing
time. That came in 2009 when he hit .313./.390/.488 with 13 homers and 58 RBI
in 425 plate appearances for the Braves.
