Wow. Perez effed that up so badly.
Wasn't even talking about that trade but yeah...that one too!

LOL@ Perez in LF, what was trying do there? He didn't even have play with two outs but twice he tried rushing to throw it and looked silly. No harm done but funny.

Haha, Perez bobble actually helped there as they sent the runner and Simmons nails him by a mile.
Jace stays at second for the rest of the year.
I don't see a spot for Peraza this year unless a trade is made.

He was just baiting the Brewers. All that bobbling till they try to take a base and then boom! Ok, probably not haha

His misplay gave him an assist. If he doesn't misplay it they don't send him so inning continues. That worked out great.
I see Peraza playing 2B, SS, LF & CF (a quasi-utility starter). Think Perez goes back down for a little while.
I didn't mean that as a shot at you. I know scouts use it, and I understand it on some level. It seems like when they say 'ace,' they mean the extremely rare guys who K a ton while not walking anybody and shutting everyone down...like Scherzer, Sale, those guys. And a guy like Wood is a 2-3 because his K rate isn't quite as good, allows a few more base runners, and on down.
But so many guys out pitch or under pitch those labels, and your 'spot' in a rotation is mostly arbitrary, meaningless, and dependent on your team anyway...that I just don't think it really means much.

BTW, I actually like Perez despite the bobbles tonight. I don't like him in LF though, as said when we called him up I noted watching him with Gwinnett he was pretty good in CF, OK in RF but kinda bad in LF.
I see Smith and Perez making a good CF combo in the future, Perez more as Smith's back-up and some speed off the bench. Plus Perez is better vs lefties so we can start him in CF for the lefty Smith against certain tough lefties.
