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." Youth Tom Brady Jersey .28 mph.

Listen to the Canadiens and Oilers live on TSN Radio 690 starting at 8pm et. The Habs will lean on Dustin Tokarski between the pipes for tonights contest, with Carey Price expected to get the call in goal Tuesday versus the Calgary Flames. Montreal is set to play three straight in Western Canada after finishing off a perfect four-game homestand with Saturdays 3-1 win over the New York Rangers. Price made 34 saves in the win in the first meeting between the teams since last seasons Eastern Conference final. Price sustained a knee injury in Game 1 of the 2014 East finals and missed the remainder of the series, a contributing factor to the Rangers prevailing in six games. The standout goaltender was healthy and in top form on Saturday, however, yielding just a first-period goal to Carl Hagelin to help Montreal move to 7-1-0 on the young season. I thought we played really well. Things are coming around, said Price afterward. The guys are letting me see the puck. The short rebounds Im letting out are being gobbled up by our D-men. Max Pacioretty had a goal and an assist in the win, while Tomas Plekanec and Lars Eller also scored. Price is only 1-5-1 with a 3.71 goals against average and .857 save perrcentage in seven prior meetings with the Oilers, while Tokarski has never faced them.dddddddddddd While Montreal is off to a fast start to the season, the Oilers are looking to rebound from some early struggles. They opened the campaign 0-4-1, but have since ripped off three straight wins. Edmonton secured another victory in the fourth contest of a seven-game homestand on Friday, using a four-goal third period to down the Carolina Hurricanes 6-3. The Oilers scored three straight goals after Carolina tied the contest with 12:10 left in regulation. Rookie Leon Draisaitl started the game-winning run with his first career NHL goal as the third overall pick of the 2014 draft one-timed David Perrons cross-ice feed with 7:05 to play. It was really exciting. Its something that every hockey player dreams of as a kid, said Draisaitl. Jordan Eberle finished with two goals and an assist while Jesse Joensuu, Matt Hendricks and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins all lit the lamp for Edmonton. Nugent- Hopkins has scored in three straight games. Ben Scrivens made 27 saves in the victory. He is 1-2-0 with a 2.75 GAA and .903 save percentage in four prior meetings with the Canadiens, including three starts. The Oilers and Canadiens split their two meetings a season ago, with each team winning on the road. Montreal has still lost eight of its past 11 in Edmonton, however. ' ' '
