GOODYEAR, Arizona -- Scribbles in my Cleveland Indians notebook about why Yandy Diaz is likely to open the season in the minors:
1. Yandy Diaz may be the best young hitter that I've seen in a Tribe spring training since Victor Martinez. He has the same confidence and knowledge of the strike zone of a young Martinez. Victor first came to Cleveland in 2002. Martinez is a switch hitter. Diaz is strictly a right-handed batter.
2. Martinez has the type of controlled swing and willingness to hit the ball to the opposite field that prevents long slumps.
