Antonio Perez??????

[ShawonOmeter12]

released by the A's and was solid for a strecth with the dodgers, does he interest anyone? i am not a fan of cedeno starting out in the bigs, i think he would be better served playing everyday in iowa. i think perez could be a solid 25th man for us and allow cedeno to continue to grow in the minors. what do you guys/girls think?

Perez was a nice prospect a few years back, but now I don't think he's worthy of a roster spot with Cedeno and Theriot around.

Just why do you think he is such a solid player for our 25th player? Why is it every released player is sooo much better than what the Cubs have? Oakland certainly isn't that deep to release quality roster prospects.

No more players named Perez, please.

Perez hit 102/185/204 last season. Why would we want him again?

Is that 102 hits in 185 ABs with 204 walks?

If that were the case, I highly doubt Billy Beane would have released him.

I really need to find my cleats -- I think even I could do better than that.

pretty much i dont care who our 25th man is because they dont play that much anyways. my whole point was i think we are stunting cedeno's development by making him ride the pine when he could be playing at iowa.

Cedeno showed vast improvement working with Lou and the Cubs coaching staff this spring. His ability to hit situationally improved as well as his plate discipline and ability to take/draw a walk. Having him continue to be coached by those guys might continue his development despite not starting everyday.

 

Also, Lou has stated that he wants Izturis to get regular rest and start about 80% of the games. That means Cedeno will start about every 5th game or so. When you consider the possibility that Jacque Jones will sit against more lefties this season and that his likely replacement in RF will be Mark DeRosa, that means that on those days Cedeno will either be the first reserve infielder off the bench or starting at 2B over Theriot for some reason.

 

Cedeno will definitely see less playing time with the big league club than he would in AAA, but he appears ready to be a contributor at the major league level, he should get more playing time than many other reserve SSs due to Izturis's injury history and Lou's desire to keep him fresh and healthy, and Cedeno has responded very favorably to the major league coaches, so his growth should be stunted less than many of us might think.

You can't.
