Peralta??

[Gwyddbwyll]

I traded Garciaparra for him earlier in the mistaken belief he was ultra safe as opposed to ultra brittle. I didnt like it but it seemed sensible especially as SS was the only hole on my team.. sigh.

He's worthless I hate him. I wish to never hear his name again.

I wouldn't pick him up in any league right now

I dont know about worthless, but he is overrated right now for sure.

Peralta was one of my personal favorites heading into the season.

Now he's on my not so personal favorite list.

My sentiments exaclty. I'm very close to cutting ties.

Peralta is mostly sitting on my bench while Hanley Ramirez and Bill Hall fill the SS position. I hope to be able to trade either Hanley or Peralta later in the season if Hanley keeps it up and Jhonny picks it up.

If you want RBIs, I believe he'll be a steal for you. Just realize that your average will take a hit, his current Run pace will likely plummet, and you're not likely to see him hit 20 HR this year.

I'm just trying to figure out where all those RBI are going to come from if he's not hitting for average OR power.

hes had i think the most opportunities with RISP or is up there. he should have 50 but he hits very low in that category. with him hitting 6th i think u can forget that.

Same place those 40 runs have come from this year.

It's no secret that RBIs are a team stat. Same as Runs. He's got Hafner, Martinez, Blake, and Broussard hitting in front of him. Before they were hitting behind him, knocking him in. He's going to get more opportunities with runners on base, and with multiple runners on base, than the average .230-.240 hitter. Plus, he's not likely to stay a .230-.240 hitter.

If he can find his needle, I'm sure he will be back to last years' level.

Wow I'm tired of this. Every single slumping player is accused by some kid of juicing. And the people who accuse them of juicing are only doing it becuase they don't know enough about baseball to come up with an intelligent post, so they resort to an unfounded accusation.
