	NYFansOnly.com: Scouting Mets' Prospect #10: Victor Diaz
		Diaz blasted a game-tying three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning against the Cubs on Sept. 25, a game that was won by the Mets in 11 innings and effectively ended Chicago's 2004 playoff hopes.
		Diaz has been compared by some to Boston's Manny Ramirez, and while those comparisons are a little off base (at Diaz's age, Ramirez hit.308 with 31 homers and 107 RBI in the big leagues), they are similar type players.
		Diaz is a free swinger and a hacker at the plate.
