Jose Peraza unlikely to play center for the Reds

Cincinnati Reds President of Baseball Operations Dick Williams joined Lance McAlister on 700 WLW on Monday night. One topic that was discussed was center field. McAlister asked specifically about Jose Peraza potentially playing some center field.

McAlister: Have you considered Jose Peraza getting a look-see in center fielder to answer that opening?

Williams: Yeah, we have considered it. To be honest, right now he’s probably our best shortstop on the team. And you don’t always want to weaken yourself at multiple positions. If we weren’t able to get anything done between now and and opening day to address the outfield, I think we do feel comfortable that we’ve got guys like Puig, who is very athletic who has played center, Schebler – athletic, has played center.
