deja vu

This had a familiar ring: Jose Peraza, in his major league debut on Monday night, got a triple for his first hit. Last summer, June 19 to be exact, Peraza, in his Double-A debut with the Mississippi Braves, also smacked a triple. This is not a fluke; he is very fast. Peraza, a second baseman who was Atlanta’s top-rated prospect entering this season, made his MLB debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who got him in a trade just before last month’s deadline. He is a nice addition to the fantasy team of former M-Braves who aren’t playing for Atlanta. At catcher, there’s Brian McCann, who has 18 homers for the New York Yankees. At first base, Evan Gattis (17 homers, 60 RBIs for Houston). At shortstop, Yunel Escobar (.309 for Washington). At third base, Martin Prado (.268 for Miami). In the outfield, Jason Heyward (.286, nine homers for St. Louis), Gregor Blanco (.286 for San Francisco) and Jeff Francoeur (.273, 10 homers for Philadelphia). Starting pitcher: Charlie Morton (Pittsburgh) or Alex Wood (another new Dodger), each of whom has seven wins. Closer: Craig Kimbrel (32 saves for San Diego). Feeling nostalgic?
