A Former Top Yankees Prospect, a Fresh Start, and the Best Spring of His Career.
Oswald Peraza was once one of the most coveted infield prospects in baseball — a top-100 name with a plus glove, real arm strength, and the athleticism to play anywhere on the dirt. In New York, the bat never caught up to the hype and the opportunities dried up behind a crowded infield. Out of options, he needed a change of scenery. The Angels gave him one.
He responded with the best spring of his career: .333/.373/.583 with six doubles and two homers in 16 games. He was the under-the-radar standout of camp, and out of options or not, he made it impossible to leave off the roster. Kurt Suzuki specifically mentioned him as a factor at second base.
The defensive value is real and immediate — he can cover shortstop, third, and second at a major league level, which gives Suzuki the kind of infield flexibility a thin bench needs. If even a fraction of the spring offense is real, the Angels found a 25-year-old former top prospect for the cost of a roster spot. That is exactly the kind of low-cost upside swing this organization should be taking more often.
