I'm sacrificing defense for his bat if it means we're not trotting out Pete Kozma and company every day.
But to actually respond to this "he doesn't play good defense" claim/meme, Peralta gets too much gripe for his fielding. He makes up for his lack of range by position himself in good spots and is as sure-handed as they come, but because he's fat and was bumped to LF by the Tigers for the playoffs last season, he's automatically a botch defensively.
Not to mention, most of the criticism on here about "bad" defensive shortstops comes from a fan who has the best defensive player in baseball playing SS for his team.

As he went, he said: "O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom!
If only I had died instead of you
O Absalom, my son, my son!"Comment

Roids. Hope you don't boo Braun if you go to Cardinal games because you would be a huge hypocrite.Comment

...and not because he took PEDs. I believe a lot of people, particularly on here, feel the same way.

Cardinals call up Randal Grichuk (the minor league OF in the Freese/Bourjos trade) and infielder Greg Garcia, send down Shane Robinson and Kolten Wong.
No clue why they're sending Wong back down to Memphis. He's struggled, but hasn't gotten much of a chance since Mark Ellis returned from injury.
