Earlier in the year, with the Indians still in contention and Peralta flailing at the plate, this might have been more of an issue. He flashed some power in May with a .494 slugging, but at the cost of his batting eye. Through June, he’d racked up 63 strikeouts against 21 walks, a miserable average. Worse, his power seemed absent in any other month, as he slugged .430 in March and April and .440 in June.

But he played mostly shortstop for Buffalo, which is interesting, since Jhonny Peralta is allegedly the now and future Indians shortstop.

Who are you looking at? Jhonny Peralta? Hanley Ramirez? Christian Guzman? Michael Young? No, none of those guys? Well who are you talking about? Jack…Wilson…?
That’s right, Ned Colletti ( http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/27/270114.jpg), the mustached man who looks like the offspring of both Mario and Luigi, if Luigi developed a birth canal, a uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries (and based on Luigi’s place in the Mario videogame franchise, this assumption is not far off), has decided that what the Dodgers need is a 30 year old, weak hitting (career .270 batter) to handle the reins of the club until Furcal either returns, or walks after free agency. The worst part about it is that Ned is resigned to trade some of his everyday players for him ( http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080704&content_id=3063949&vkey=trade2008&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb&partnerId=rss_mlb). I know the prospect of getting a player who looks like a dirtier Adam Corolla may be too much to say no to, the Dodgers themselves need to take a stance, and tell the moustache, “NO.” at the thought of trading a couple twenty something players for Jack Wilson. MAYBE you can offer them Brian Falkenberg and Rafael Furcal’s back, but anythong more would be a travesty.
