My Take
There is something quietly moving about a career like José Peraza's. A Venezuelan infielder out of Barinas, he played second and short for the Dodgers, Reds, Red Sox, and Mets before continuing in the Mexican League with Acereros de Monclova. I admire players who keep competing after the bright Major League lights dim; it speaks to a love of the game rather than the spotlight. A right-handed bat with speed and positional flexibility is always useful, but more than the skill set, it's his persistence I notice. I hope he gets to play this game on his own terms for as long as he wants.
