Johnny Peralta.

Over 21 percent K rate for the first time since 2007. His BABIP was 375 last year which was 60 points higher than his career mark which would explain how he was able to increase his average despite striking out quite a bit more.

I generally will defend most moves the cards make because they have proved themselves over and over but on this one I just still cant figure out. I think the Cards just gave 52 million to a 240-250 hitter that will hit 10 home runs and play average defense.

Some years calling him a good hitter is even a stretch. In 2012 with the Tigers he was where the rally ended.

Maybe they should move this guy to 3rd, keep Carpy at 2nd, and trade Wong for a shortstop.
