Alejandro Alberto De Aza Ceda (born April 11, 1984 in Guaymate, Dominican Republic) is a Major League Baseball center fielder for the Chicago White Sox. He is known for his great speed and defensive skills in center field.
De Aza was originally signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers as a non-drafted free agent on May 1, 2001. The Florida Marlins selected him from the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft in 2004, and he has been with Florida ever since, playing in their minor league system.
In 2005, De Aza batted .286 with 34 stolen bases and 75 runs scored while playing for the Marlins Single-A Jupiter affiliate. In 2006, De Aza batted .278 with 12 doubles, two triples, two home runs, 16 RBI and 27 stolen bases at Double-A.
MLB
Florida Marlins
On March 28, 2007, De Aza was named the starting center fielder for the Marlins, beating out Reggie Abercrombie, Eric Reed, and Alex Sánchez in what was seen as a surprise. He batted .606 (20-for-33) in nine games for the Marlins before going on the disabled list on April 16 with a right ankle sprain; an MRI in mid-May revealed that his ankle had a hairline fracture. De Aza was called up by the Florida Marlins in May 2009 and has made an immediate impact.
Chicago White Sox
On October 21, 2009, the Chicago White Sox claimed De Aza off waivers from the Marlins.
