No one should ever begrudge a man who is trying to find his way back to the major leagues through whichever means he and his agent feel is best.

Peterson is a 25th/26th man, utility guy who's value in that he can play ok defense at many places in the infield and outfield. Saying that, not sure what triggered his opt out, and then resigning. With Villar a potential trade chip over the next couple of weeks, you have to imagine he has a good a chance to get a recall after the trade as anyone. 

Exactly. Plus the dude is having a heck of a season in AAA. .911 OPS. He can play 7 positions. Not kill you on defense. He can run a bit. He’d be a perfect guy to finish out the season with if we trade Villar. Also we are really thin at SS/2B/3B. So it’s not like he’s blocking some prospect.

I like what Peterson is doing up here, whether or not his OPS is showing it yet.  At least he’s going for it and not just watching strike three’s like Davis. Seems like he’s decided he’s not going back to AAA and is being ultra aggressive on the bases. It gives the pitcher something to worry about. Plus I have to respect the guy for trying whatever he can to make the most of his chance.
