Compare Peralta to Omar , say, 10-15 years from now.
These are just 2 different players.
I like Jhonny, but Asdrubal is really looking superb. I'm thinking he's the next generation Omar....better hitting, better D, good fundamentals....
I think the best is yet to come.

Thing is, we weren't offered the Omar of say 95-01, but rather a choice of Omar in 05-07 at a high price or play Jhonny and use the funds elsewhere. I think everyone agrees that Jhonny will ultimately be moved from SS at some point in his career. That point isn't now, as even Dewan doesn't have Jhonny as one of the worst SS this season.
I've been looking at defensive numbers and based on a very very small sample size, it looks like AC might be a vastly better 2B than SS. So he might be more Robbie than Omar defensively, but much more Omar than Robbie offensively. I can live with that.
As far as Kous, 1Perry, it will depend on if Barfield hits. There might be parallels to Phillips as if you cut Barfield short he might just be another who hits to his minor league numbers elsewhere.
But at least it won't be to keep an older veteran over letting the younger player play. Belliard & Boone, oh well.
