Reds' Jose Peraza: Expected to play regularly in 2017

Peraza is expected to play regularly in 2017, C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Analysis:

General manager Dick Williams and manager Bryan Price both said Friday that that they are committed to giving Peraza regular opportunities. Peraza, acquired in the Todd Frazier trade last winter, hit .324 with 21 steals (31 attempts) in 72 games with the Reds in 2016. The question is where he will play next season. He saw time at shortstop, center field, second base and left field and could fill a similar super-utility role to start, but perhaps a trade will open up a more permanent spot for him in the field.
