Cdub2k 1,260 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I'm aboard the Peralta train. I had to drop Neil Walker but now that Drury has 2B eligibility I felt like now was the time. I think having Peralta as my Utility is better than Neil Walker. I've been a believer for about 3 years now. If his health is there I can see him putting together a nice .280/20/10/70/70 line this season Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jb_power 3,513 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 was hoping he'd slump for another week or 2 as I targeted him in my drafts and got snipped twice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

swfcdan 689 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 4 hours ago, street sharks said: OPS league gold Nearly .900 OPS in 2015! That shocked me to see, definately agree there. Doesn't get the lift of most power hitters, but damn he hits the ball hard when he's on. Love that lineup and park too, going to get a ton of R/RBIs this year batting 2nd.

daethfromabove1979 874 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Peralta should maintain a high average and decent OPS but I can't see his home run numbers really improving, doesn't hit nearly enough fly balls and hits the ball all over the field, definitely sacrifices the dingers for the higher average, should get plenty of runs and RBIs with his spot in the lineup though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TomBradysCollegeRoommate 204 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 4 multi hit games in a row, including a 3 hit and 4 hit game. I'm buying, regardless of numbers against lefties Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cmilne23 10,559 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Safe to say he's back to 2015 form. Safe to chalk last year up to injuries. He's slaying the ball over the yard. New manager loves to run. Could be a sneaky source of 12-15 bags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will openly admit that I haven't been able to watch him enough, but his Fangraphs SCREAMS that his bad numbers are a fluke right now. His Whiff% is down from 2015 at 9.2% and his Z-Contact is at 90%. I have a hard time believing the strikeouts for one even remotely sustain, and he's not a .200 BABIP hitter. Hes been ridiculously hot since I posted this o.o Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mtblock 453 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Dammit. Yahoo is stupid. I had to pick him up today because I ran out of pickups last week, and Yahoo doesn't add the guy until the next day, and I missed out on all of tonight. ugghhhh. With the way my recent adds have been (Margot, Garcia,...) he will cool off immediately while the guys I didn't grab go off (Zimm, Gallo, etc.) I think I will still stream him only against RHP though, and mostly at home. Throw him in a platoon with Dahl (only playing him at home), and I think it could give me a pretty damn good player combined. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bash Bros 791 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I don't even care what his numbers are against LHP. This guy is an absolute must start against righties. If you're in a daily league then you can play the matchups with him and roll in the profit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I play yahoo and we can add ppl and play them same day because we chose "daily" as our add/drop set up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy_Slippers 3,956 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Sucks that he is only RF eligible, but I'll be picking him up for one of my bench spots. He's doing just swell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
