Peralta's ringing endorsement from the Detroit media

+

This piece is actually less about Peralta and more about Dombrowski's strategy in the wake of their recent spate of injuries. But after all of the (somewhat) fond reminiscing of "Good Jhonny," this passage stood out as a symbol of ... I don't know. How far he's fallen? What might have been? Good riddance? The thing is, it's actually meant as a positive. Any way you slice it, ouch. And they at least got a stop-gap player, who has seen seven years of big-league pitching, and who can swing a bat, and most times, hit the ball somewhere.
