JUPITER, Fla. -- After spending years trying to find a quality shortstop, the St. Louis Cardinals now appear to have an excess. The Cardinals introduced their newest acquisition, Cuban shortstop Aledmys Diaz, on Monday. Within the organization, some have compared him to a young Derek Jeter. "He walks like him you can see some of that there," St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak said. Diaz liked to heard that. "He thinks Derek Jeter is definitely the model ballplayer that everyone should look up to, that he looked up to in the opportunities that he had in Cuba to watch baseball games," said translator Moise Rodriguez, a team employee. "Hes a world-renowned baseball player that comes across as somebody thats a leader and somebody that everybody should try to be like." The Cardinals signed Diaz to a four-year deal over the weekend only months after signing current shortstop Jhonny Peralta, a two-time All-Star, to a free agent contract of the same length. Having Peralta will allow the Cardinals to take their time with the 23-year-old Diaz, who will begin this season in the minor leagues and likely be given a chance to learn multiple infield positions. "We plan on being patient with him," Mozeliak said. "He hasnt played baseball in, really, over a year and a half competitively. Its not something where were looking to have him put his fingerprints on the major league team tomorrow. We can give him time to develop and let him, from a talent standpoint, take his time to get back to where he was." Diaz defected from Cuba to Mexico in 2012. The Cardinals scouted Diaz in Mexico and worked him out earlier this spring at the Roger Dean Stadium complex. "I thought he did a lot of things well," said St. Louis manager Mike Matheny, who attended the Jupiter workout. "You are just looking at tools at that point. You can see that hes had some repetitions out there. He knows what hes doing. Swinging the bat, the ball jumped off. Just a guy that you could tell hes been around the game a while." Diaz hit .315 with 12 home runs in 270 at-bats during the 2011-12 season in Cuba. Mozeliak expects Diaz to continue to hit for average with gap power as a major leaguer. "Were very confident that he can be an offensive middle infielder, specifically a shortstop," Mozeliak said. Diaz went through practice with his new team before Mondays game against Detroit, but it will be some time before he appears in a major league spring training exhibition. Later this week, he will return to Mexico to finalize his work visa. Until that issue is cleared, Diaz can work out with the big league club but can only play in games on the back fields. "Its always been his dream to try and compete at the highest level in the world," Rodriguez said. "Obviously this represents that. Yeah, there are some challenges and difficulties. But for him, being able to come here and try to compete with the best in the world in the industry is something that hes always looked forward to doing."

Highlights from the Rome Masters final as Andy Murray faced Novak Djokovic Seeing the game through someone elses eyes and trying to figure out how to make them better, all that sounds like a very satisfying experience, he said in 2014.However, Agassi also has a young family and is committed to launching tennis academies in the US. Murray has spoken of the need for a full-time coach, present for 25-30 weeks of the tour, and these factors may cause the Scot to rule out Agassi.John McEnroe Murray and John McEnroe play doubles in an exhibition match McEnroe was linked with the job in 2014 before Mauresmo took the position. Another former world No 1, McEnroe has always been a big supporter of Murray.Often compared because of their aggressive on-court styles, McEnroe would offer a different coaching mantra to the likes of Mauresmo and Ivan Lendl, which may appeal to Murray.

However, the question of family may again be the issue. Smith has three children and time away may be a decisive factor. Ivan Lendl Ivan Lendl oversaw Murrays biggest successes Murrays former coach gave him the most success of his career to date, winning two Grand Slams and Olympic gold during their three years together.Lendl was integral to the development of Murrays forehand and second serve, as well as psychologically helping to channel his frustration and maintain concentration in difficult points.The reason for their split back in 2014 was time commitments.
