The transformation in Oswald Peraza’s physique & his commitment to conditioning is just further confirmation, in my opinion, that the Yankees should trade Torres for additional starting or relief pitching & play Peraza everyday at either 2B or SS.
I live in NJ close to both the Yankees former AA site in Trenton & their current AA site in Somerset. (I worked in nearby Bridgdewater before retiring.)
Consequently, I’ve seen a plethora of future MLB players, including Volpe & Peraza play multiple times. I’ve liked both tremendously, and, despite Volpe’s well-earned Gold Glove at SS, I think Volpe’s even more valuable at 2B because Peraza’s range & arm strength are even superior to Volpe’s, so they’d make a wonderful keystone pairing. That’s NOT a knock on Volpe; it’s simply high praise for Peraza’s impressive fielding skills.
Moreover, Peraza’s hitting skills have been very impressive at both AA & AAA. Unfortunately, the Yankees did NOT use Peraza in a way that allowed him to showcase his considerable skills last year. They took a fairly polished gem of a prospect and turned him into an every-now-and-then-when the mood strikes-us fill-in player. That’s NOT the way to advance a young player’s skills & increase his confidence at the MLB level.
That’s a fine approach with a veteran player who understands that his best days are behind him: such a player can thrive as a super-utility player if he realizes it will extend his career. But that approach is DISASTROUS to the development of a Young Player, who’s still trying to confirm to his team and, more importantly, himself that he’s a genuine major leaguer.
Unfortunately, Yankee management, from Brainless Brian Cashman to Aaron Boone-head, seemingly did everything possible to DESTROY Peraza’s confidence by employing him in the moronic way they did in 2023.
Hopefully, those two have learned a valuable lesson from the way they misused Peraza last year, but I doubt it because neither man has ever shown Any Sign of being introspective. Cashman’s obscene rant against members of the press earlier this offseason — for which he should have been fired — provided indisputable evidence that his Enormous Ego makes him incapable of being introspective, since that would entail him taking Responsibility for his extensive list of dumb trades, extensions, and other decisions as a GM.
The ability to be introspective, to be self-critical in a healthy manner & correct your known faults, is a VITAL ingredient in self-growth, and Cashman has ZERO capability in that regard, as his obscene & self-righteous rant against the press showed when he insisted that the 2023 Yankees, with their 82-80 record, were (quote) “pretty f**king good.”
That quote accurately sums up Cashman’s capacity for introspective insight: the 2023 Yankees were Horrible & Painful to watch, but Cashman insisted they were “pretty f**king good,” despite the whiff of manure that hung over that team! And in making that statement, Cashman was telling fans & the press: “I’m RIGHT, even when I’m Empirically Wrong. So, to paraphrase Cashman, shut the F-up!” And that’s why I call Cashman “Brainless Brian.”
Note: theathletic.com, which has no ties to the Yankees, titled their article on Cashman’s rant as follows: “Yankees’ GM Brian Cashman goes on epic rant and slams critics of team’s analytics.” So, yea, he’s brainless.
