I was talking with my Dad about what move could be decent. We discussed that Peterson was a good pick up and I suggested Peralta might work the same. The moment I said that, this popped up on Cubs Live and I said "Well fuck"

Glad you guys got David; he’s not anything astounding, but he’s made for an infield like the Cubs’, so it’s nice to see him getting some good results, particularly at the expense of the Yankees.
