Red Sox ink Jhonny Peralta to a 2yr contract

What could be consider a bit of a suprise the Rochester Red Sox agreed to terms with Tigers SS Jhonny Peralta.

"When we drafted Jhonny we were happy to get him but didn't expect to give him a contract. But after taking a look at the potential SS in the 2013 draft this deal makes plenty of sense." said GM Chase.

After that explanation it makes plenty of sense to keep Peralta past 2012. During this years draft it had plenty of SS options so there wont be much to choose from next year. Its also not like Peralta isnt a real good SS. He provides nice consistant power and RBI totals for a SS. Now that the Tigers lineup has more punch to it the numbers could even get better.

In other news the Red Sox and Desmond Jennings have gotten close to an agreement. After talks broke down in the beginning of the week things have picked back up and the two sides are looking to get things done by the end of Saturday.
