    I do too. But he doesn't have many fans on here other than you and I.

    Just wait for him to evolve from Baby to Harang 2.0

    I'm a fan! I'd like to see more before I make a concise judgement, but he has good movement, changes velocity well, solid location and enough "good" pitches to be successful at this level.

    Watched a little video and it looks like Perez has lost a few lbs.

    Definitely pulling for Williams. I'm also unreasonably excited to see Casey Kelly pull a rabbit out of a hat tomorrow. My biggest concern with Williams is that he has yet to consistently control the movement on his sinker. Good late movement on that pitch + the changeup is the secret to his success, but he seems to hit periods where his two-seamer is almost moving too much laterally and he has no idea where it's going. I fear that it will be a tough road for him as a starter if he can't lock down a reliable third pitch when that two-seamer deserts him.

    I am fan. Thought he was going to turn into a pumpkin this year.. but he still has the magic. Now that he is hitting mid 90s with movement.. I consider him a viable piece of the rotation until he shows other wise. Now he needs to have a good outing against a team not named Phollies.

    I've liked Perez since he's been in AA, though he caught my eye originally in High A. Just sayin' as I know others around here don't like him.

    I've always liked his stuff and bulldog mentality since he was called up. I think if he learns how to actually pitch he could be really good.

    He's had 2 excellent outings, but both against the Phillies.

    Is it just me, or does this team play with a different attitude now?

    I thought it was simply a case of them finally playing defense. Not giving away outs or runs can have a remarkable effect on your state of mind.

    Need to designate for assignment immediately. His assignment is Golden Corral.

    There is reason to believe that they have reason to believe.
