how is an 18 year old in A ball not a long term project?? it'll be 2 years before he's in AA, book it.

it's not really a logjam since there's platoon options there and JP can play 3B. and especially with Maybin only signed thru next year.

yes, if Peraza can be a centerpiece in a deal, then sure. but i doubt it. he doesn't walk and doesn't hit for any power, and those guys are never centerpieces.

Because Albies is a different breed. He may be 18, but is absolutely killing A ball and will hit at any level. He will start next year at A+, no question, and unless he struggles there, I would predict a call-up to AA after 3-4 months.

Was Carlos Correa a long-term project when he was 18 in A-ball? Because he was there in 2013; it's now June of 2015 and he's starting at SS for the first-place Astros.

Peraza would not be great value at 3B. His defense might not carry as well there, and suddenly he would not be great offensively at the position.
