Mike Perez  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. It's hard to explain but Mike Perez plays much better on the road then he does at home.

Defense & Hitting
He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Perez has been regarded as a poor fielder throughout his career, and last year was no different. Perez is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Perez has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Perez as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Perez. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
