I guess he's in a tough spot following the beloved Omar at that position, but going back through the history of Tribe shorstops...Felix Fermin, tom Veryzer, Jerry Dybzinski, Julio Franco, Mike Fischlin, Larvell Blanks, Frank Duffy, I'd be hard pressed to find more than Boudreau and Vizquel ranking above Peralta. Woody Held?? Chapman?? Maybe Franco...but not sure about that.

He's a really nice player. Peralta that is.


I stand fast by my decision to get him outa town and put Vizquel,Jr. at short.



I would take Fermin,Franco and Duffy over Here's Jhonny any day.
