You're more torn up about that than I am.
I've seen Perez pitch a bunch this season - he's throwing about 92/93 and his slider doesn't have much tilt on it anymore (along with less velocity). His K rate has plummeted and his BB rate remains WAY too high for an elite reliever.
I'm not convinced he's better than Boggs or Motte and I know I like Lynne, Sanchez and probably Salas more than him. Besides - you know LaRussa would never have given Perez that closer gig.
Perez is an AS in name only. I'm really not impressed by him.
