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.
