There has been a lot of talk in the media lately about Matt Diaz platooning once again. On Monday, the left fielder went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and 2 runs scored.

Since 2006, when Diaz joined the Braves, he is currently 6th in batting average for major leaguers with at least 700 at-bats during that time. The rest of the list is pretty darn impressive (even the number one guy)

Top-6 batting average leaders since 2006

1. Chipper Jones - .340
2. Matt Holliday - .333
3. Ichiro Suzuki - .332
4. Derek Jeter - .332
5. Albert Pujols - .330
6. Matt Diaz - .329
