Joaquín Árias (b. September 21, 1984, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) is a highly regarded shortstop in the Texas Rangers minor league system.
He was acquired by the Rangers from the New York Yankees as part of the deal that sent Alfonso Soriano to the Rangers and Alex Rodriguez to the Yankees in 2003. His nickname is Spiderman.[citation needed] Arias made his Major League debut with the Rangers on September 13, 2006, drawing a walk. In his limited MLB playing time (11 official at bats), Arias has a batting average of .545.
