James Triantos is 4 for his last 39, one hell of a cold streak right now

I think Perlaza is my top "gut feel" guy in the system. The scouting reports don't like him much, and aside from walks there's not any statistical stuff about him that really wows you. And as a mediocre defensive corner outfielder, you generally need some black ink on your stat page.

 

But his swings are very aesthetically pleasing (especially lefty), and the combination of offensive skills (pretty good power, average contact, plus patience, low groundball rate) is the sort of thing that tends to sneak up on you with how productive it is. I also like that he's a switch hitter who is actually fairly comparable from both sides of the plate. I think if the juiced ball was still around I'd be banging this drum a lot more, while now it's going to remain more measured. But I'd like to see him get a shot at some point.

God bless Arizona Phil.
