Nothing earth shaking here. Glad V-Mart will be back. Dotel and Perralta both had thier moments, can we do any better? Rayburn is Leyland's "boy" - hope he shines early or is gone.
ReplyDeleteI don't see why they are such a rush to sign Peralta. Let's shop around and see what kind of shortstops are available. An old man with steady hands, no range and a weak stick doesn't seem like such a wonderful deal.
ReplyDeleteThey probably had to exercise the option on Peralta or else lose him. With no clear replacement, better to keep him. They can always release him or trade him later.
