I am not negative on Peraza at all. He just is not a top 20 prospect. Top 20 prospects have star potential. Mookie Betts wasn't even a top 20 prospect and he is a stud. 2b is not a premium position
I like Peraza. But a .750 OPS with some speed and defense from a 2B is solid, not spectacular. He is not a high ceiling guy.
Some speed? Some defense?
You totally immasculated the two best parts of his game.
FWIW, Keith Law said in his chat that Peraza should be a future all star. There's just not a lot of premier second baseman since teams usually push for their best prospects to play other positions.
