And again, following the team you should know Peralta is playing becuase of his offense and his potential to hit 25-30 home runs and thinking he should be a .270-.280 hitter. Whether he ever does that, is questionable, but that is the thought by the front office. As I wrote in my post on how much his poor defense really costs them, it ain't much. You think front offices don't crunch these numbers as well??? Jeter is just as bad if not worse than Peralta and yet he still plays and the Yankees are always in post season. Jeter is a .300 plus hitter yearly and is a terrific offensive player. What he does with the bat makes up for his tortoise range. What is Wedge upset about this year?? Horrible at bats...by everyone. Again, that is the struggle. Peralta was the killer Tuesday with men in scoring posiition. Beleive me, WEdge was more upset with his at bats than if he let a random ball get into left field after the game was already blown by Betancourt.
Facts my man. They exist.
