Peralta Corrects Vision



After struggling with blurry vision in 2006, Jhonny Peralta underwent eye surgery to correct the problem in December.

Peralta resisted suggestions to wear contact lenses for almost the entire 2006 season, but he finally caved in and produced a .348 batting average over a seven-game stretch to finish the year. Granted, that’s a small sample size, but it’s hardly a stretch to think that Peralta benefited from actually being able to see the ball. With a clearer road ahead, the 24-year-old shortstop is a good bet to rebound in 2007.
