If Perez can get his walks down, he could be very good. He's already pitching very well against very good competition. Just bc a guy doesn't light up the radar gun, it doesn't mean he can't be a big time pitcher. Perez is the new medlen. I hope he stays healthy and proves you all wrong. I love this kid. Folty goes out to the mound scared to challenge hitters with overpowering stuff... Not Williams. He comes right after guys and I love it
By all means, I hope Perez proves me wrong and becomes an ace. That wouldn't bother me a bit. I like him and I like the way he pitches...just making a prediction. By the same token, I guess I hope Folty proves you wrong as well.

But Folty's issue has been that he's getting too much of the plate and has been hit hard at times, not that he's being scared or nibbling on hitters. Similarly, Perez attacks but he also walks far more than Folty does. So I don't really see your opinion of the two.

Medley showed the ability to strike guys out all through the minors. He had very good stuff. Perez really doesn't. He has a good 2-seamer, but I think guys will square him up better once they see him some.

But again, I hope all our guys prove to be studs.
