As a major league veteran, some have the role of informing their teammates when the job has been lacking. The veteran carries a certain amount of respect. And with that respect comes responsibility. The veteran is expected to be a leader.

As such, the Wily Peralta era came to a merciful end over the weekend in Cleveland.
