Jose Peraza has played in 16 games for your Cincinnati Reds. He played in 7 games for someone’s Los Angeles Dodgers. In total, Peraza has been to the plate 77 times. Since Bryan Price chose to play a possibly-concussed Billy Hamilton over Peraza on Thursday night, I don’t have to include any caveats like “through Wednesday’s game.” In reality, there really isn’t enough data to draw any meaningful conclusions.
See you next week, folks!
Oh. Right. I have to write something. Hm. Ok, then!
What we know about Peraza is as follows:
- He doesn’t (and probably won’t) hit for much power
- He swings at a lot of pitches
- As a corollary to the above, he doesn’t walk much
- He makes a lot of contact
- He’s extremely fast
- He was 21 years old on Opening Day
- Many fans are unhappy with the Reds pursuit of Peraza
Ok, these are our going-in assumptions.
