edit: to be clear, since we don't actually have to pay the posting fee to talk to him (the old rules said we couldn't even talk to the guy unless we won the bid), someone in the Royals front office ought to have a chat with his agent just in case he freakishly comes from a long line of asian Royals fans and no one ever found out about it, but as soon as its clear that we can't get him, hang up the phone and never talk about it again.
Maybe he's best buds with Norichika Aoki? :drool:

Salvador Perez has spent almost all his time in winter ball playing 1B.

Whenever we get rid of Butler (probably next year), between DH and 1B hopefully he'll be able to field 1B well enough to play almost every day.

Moose dominated the Venenzuela league where his hitting coach was his team's manager.

.288/.360/.515

If that happens, then who becomes the Catcher? I understand this move to prolong Perez's playing career, and I'm all for that, I just would miss his defensive skills at home plate, not to mention a laser of a arm...

Aren't we talking just once a week or so though? Shouldn't be extremely hard to find someone to fill in.

I didn't say that he was going to make a full-time move to 1B anytime soon. He'll be catching for the entire length of his current contract, his value plummets if he goes elsewhere on the field.

Full-time catchers can only play about 130 games. If Perez can also play 1B and if Butler is cleared out of DH, then we can get those other 30 games out of Perez.

Now lets see how he does in the California penal league.

Just curious... After looking at the FA's left... Am I missing something or why are we not thinking about Garza or Ubaldo? We'd have a sick rotation.

Pedro Grifol, I think Hosmer uses his Daddy/Brother.

Fire Yost, make Grifol manager! The campaign starts here.
