By all indications Diaz is a well below avg. thirdbaseman. His arm is, at most, average and he has large negative numbers as a 3B. I doubt seriously that the Astros would part with Gurriel unless Stearns overwhelmed them, which he is very unlikely to do. Very creative thinking of Nunez. A lot of power and a decent thirdbaseman. I have no idea what it would take to get him, but it's the O's so who knows. I knows Diaz wasn’t a good SS but no didn’t know The arm was such a problem. That would explain why his metrics are best at 2B. Probably not a great 3B option then. You might be right about them wanting Gurriel, but they have a AAA 3B who got to the bigs last year named Abraham toro. In his age 22 season at AAA he had a 938 OPS. Is suspect Baltimore would want some young pitching for Nunez. They don’t have a starting SS so they might be the rare team that Values Arcia a bit too I also like Nunez and saw him play a good bit this year. I also agree that the O’s might be a team that would have interest in Arcia. I think that both teams could match up well on deals that would benefit both sides.
