Agreed completely.
Re: Perez....our team ERA over the years is significant rly lower when he plays than when he’s out. Pitchers always compliment him for his blocking of bad pitches, esp Greg Holland and his forkballs. He makes it impossible to run on him so pitchers don’t have to worry about the runners. He makes crazy plays in the field too which saves runs.
Penalizing him retroactively is therefore absurd.
