Depends entirely on the PTBNL.
Perez is just another guy. He'll never get a good enough handle on this command to be a reliable closer and our minor leagues are FILLED with right handed relief options. Kinney will fill Perez's role, Motte or Todd will be our COTF.
DeRosa is pretty bag against righties though, that can't be overlooked. He's a nice player, but I still think we're a bat away from contending. If by some miracle Glaus comes back, shifting DeRosa to 2b and Skip to RF (with Rasmus and Ludwick) then we may be onto something.
