Ben Revere is not the answer either, he was certainly not worth any kind of prospect. The epitome of an empty average guy. He is not an actual leadoff hitter because he does not have great OBP skills. His OPS in Philly is under .700.
Is Revere an all star player? No, but he doesnt have to be. He has absolutely no power, so OPS really doesnt matter, because his slow slugging numbers are going to bring that down.
His OBP is only around .330 for his career because he doesnt walk(career 4.3%), but he also doesnt strike out. His career strike out rate is only at 9%. He has a 84.4% out of zone contact rate, and a 96.6% in zone contact rate. He puts the ball in play, and hits ground balls(65.4% career). He uses his speed, and he uses it well. He has 99 career infield hits in 4 years. He already has 48 stolen bases this year, would have gone over 40 if it wasnt for an injury last year, and had 40 the year before.
Thats exactly what Atlanta needs at the top of the order, and if Jose Peraza can come even somewhat close to that in the near future, then we all will be happy fans.

No. If Peraza is posting wOBA of .306, wRC+ of 93, and only 2 WAR like Revere is this season I'd be pretty disappointed. A guy with a .327 OBP doesn't belong anywhere near the top of a batting order. That's Fredi quality dumb moves.
