EDGE Analysis

Peraza filled in for the injury-plagued Mets during the first half but wound up missing most of the second half with a fractured finger. His defensive versatility and speed could help him land somewhere this offseason in a bench role, but his .229/.279/.353 slash line over the last three seasons makes him rather unexciting even in that capacity.
