I was going to do my analysis but then I ran across this at FanGraphs.com that pretty much echoes my sentiment.  The money for Peralta sounds high, but the big problem is there’s not a lot of alternatives. Once you get past Derek Jeter, who should go back to the Yankees, things thin out quick and there’s not a whole lot better out there then Peralta.  I think the long term plan is to have Peralta be the stopgap at shortstop until Daniel Fields is ready for his chance.
