tucker26 2,400 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 La Stella to Cubs frees up second base for Jose. Can he seize it out of spring? He still likely needs another year in the minors. He's got potential for avg and SBs. Link to post Share on other sites
Posting In The Clutch 1,920 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 La Stella to Cubs frees up second base for Jose. Can he seize it out of spring? He still likely needs another year in the minors. He's got potential for avg and SBs. If you look at how they handled Andrelton Simmons, he got the call after only 44 games in AA. Why do I mention this? Peraza played exactly 44 games in AA last season. He could definitely win the job out of Spring Training. Link to post Share on other sites
AngryBeavers 136 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 This has to open the door for Peraza. You would think the Braves are clearly willing to give the kid a legit shot to win the job in the spring to make this trade... at least I hope so !! Link to post Share on other sites
Runelvys Hernandez 182 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 What's the upside of this guy? His stats profile him as an Altuve type, IMO (correct me if I'm wrong in some way). Does he have Altuve upside? Link to post Share on other sites
Resrup24 15 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 He's been added to the 40 man roster. After trading La Stella and DFA'ing Peña, as far as I can tell the Braves have Gosselin, Pastornicky, and Peraza contending for 2B. I'd personally prefer Peraza. Link to post Share on other sites
CoreyR5 5 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Peraza is who I prefer as well. I doubt he starts in the bigs tho. They will most likely wait a bit to keep that extra yr of control. Link to post Share on other sites
adifazio27 543 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 What are the chances this guy wins the job out of Spring? Personally, I don't see anything to get excited about at second on the Braves, and seeing as it looks like they're getting younger to make a strong push in a few years, is there a chance they let Peraza start the season with them?

96mnc 6,747 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 What are the chances this guy wins the job out of Spring? Personally, I don't see anything to get excited about at second on the Braves, and seeing as it looks like they're getting younger to make a strong push in a few years, is there a chance they let Peraza start the season with them? Is there a chance? Of course. But I personally wouldn't start him in the majors this year. There's no reason to start his clock this early when they are looking to have a winning team when their ballpark opens in 2017 (I think that's the year). It's not like he has a ton of minor league experience anyway. If anything play Jace Peterson this year and find out if he's really a starter on the next good Braves team.

I like baseball 457 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I thought the same about Odor and the Rangers brought him up. If he proves he can handle it in spring, I hope they give him a legitimate chance to start the season in the majors. Link to post Share on other sites
elsegundo 335 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 They need to get people in the seats too, so there's always that. Peraza would provide a dose of excitement in a line-up that is lacking it outside of Freeman. Link to post Share on other sites

If he proves he can handle it in spring, I hope they give him a legitimate chance to start the season in the majors. The difference is Odor was clearly the best in house option and Texas thought they could win last year. Atlanta doesn't think they can win this year and I could build an argument that Peterson is a better in house option and more mlb ready right now on the field. And that's before the economic impact of starting Peraza's clock in 2015 is taken into account. Link to post Share on other sites
brockpapersizer 12,244 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 He's pretty young, with no reason to compete and no time at AAA, looks like he's a year away. Link to post Share on other sites

And that's before the economic impact of starting Peraza's clock in 2015 is taken into account. One could argue Sardinas was just as capable as Odor was in filling that void as well. Sardinas was also the less heralded prospect of the two and it would have been smarter to start his clock first. That said, if the Braves staff pitches the way they're capable of, that team can compete. We've seen some crappy hitting teams with good pitching go far in the past... most recently the Royals. John Hart has recently said that they have every intention of contending now. While it doesn't seem likely, strangers things have happened. Link to post Share on other sites
floppy 210 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 with the possibility of being traded to the yankees, would he be called up almost immediately? any one know any info on this. probably premature to be picked up in fantasy leagues but wondering some info? Link to post Share on other sites
overkill94 415 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Seems unlikely that the Braves would trade him unless they were blown away. They might be comfortable with Jace Peterson as their 2B of the future, but he's not close to being a sure thing. Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm the Braves, I would want more than Gary Sanchez. I know he has been young for his level coming up, but the numbers are somewhat underwhelming and there are real concerns about his future as a catcher. Considering that the Braves couldn't move him to First, it seems unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites
cowbell204 427 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Sanchez is more than likely the latest Yankee catcher prospect to be overhyped and disappoint. Link to post Share on other sites

overkill94 415 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 So a non-top 100 prospect for the #54 prospect when the Braves already have a pretty decent young catcher? That Yankee voodoo doesn't work anymore Pretty sure either Severino or Judge would have to be a starting point. Link to post Share on other sites
