Hardball Times: Independent Leagues

But then there are cases like David Peralta and his 3.7 WAR in 2015. The Diamondbacks probably got him for around $4,000. The Tigers just gave Justin Upton $133 million and he produced 3.6 WAR in 2015. Maybe the chances the Diamondbacks are taking with independent ball are cost efficient.

I wonder why he didn't mention that Peralta was a pitcher in the Cardinal organization.

It wouldn't be as fun without the David Peraltas....or the Matt Bushes.

I wasn't aware there were that many Indy leagues out there. Everytime I go to a Bridgeport Bluefish game it's always interesting to see all the former MLB players both on their team and on the opponent side.

Great read and very informative, thanks for sharing.
