Oliver Perez Makes Another Good Start

Bill Ladson of MLB.com summarizes the game nicely. I don’t need a long, drawn-out novel about a spring training game. The important thing is that Oliver Perez put together his second good start in a row. As I’ve said before here, I think spring starts are more important for Perez than anyone else on the team. I believe that he has the best stuff on the team except for Santana. Some may argue that Pedro has better stuff… but that was a few years ago. Perez needs to find consistency as early as possible. Today’s start is a good sign.

Oliver Perez is Bad Again

Perez pitched against the Indians yesterday and had his second bad start of the spring. He’s one pitcher that really needs to find a “groove” in the spring. The other pitchers are just there to get their work in and build up to pitching 6+ innings per game. Perez can get so far away from the mechanics that are successful for him that he really needs to pull it together earlier than most pitchers.
