When Giancarlo Stanton returned to the lineup, the New York Yankees designated infielder/outfielder Pablo Reyes for task. That transfer made sense, as Reyes was unable to differentiate himself as a Bomber, producing only a .468 OPS in restricted taking part in time. However to switch Reyes’ versatility, the Yankees are foolishly making ready infielder Oswald Peraza for doable outfield obligation.
This yr, New York has given Peraza a wonderful alternative to show he’s an MLB hitter, and he’s failed miserably. He shouldn’t be within the outfield — he ought to be out of a job.
The 25-year-old has an MLB-level glove, and a take a look at his minor league stats signifies he could possibly be an honest hitter, too. He’s cranked 47 lengthy balls in 262 video games at Triple-A, posting an above-average .776 OPS. He’s a .268 hitter for his total MiLB profession. Nonetheless, that potential hasn’t translated effectively to the large leagues.
