Odalis Perez in 2004

 

2 games started; 0-1; 11.2 innings pitched; 5.40 ERA; 7 ER; 3 HR

 

Paulie

 

7 games started; 0.370 avg; 27 AB; 3 R; 10 H; 1 HR; 6 RBI; 1 SB

 

:headbang

Call me crazy, but I would do this deal in a second.

 

Perez sucking = lower value

 

Paulie hitting = greater value

 

 

Perez was absolutely lights out in ST -- something like 1.00 ERA with 22 K and 2 BB.

You're crazy.

 

Over his career, Perez has had exactly one season where his ERA was below 4.50. Last year Perez had a 4.52 ERA and 1.28 WHIP pitching half his games in DODGER STADIUM. Now take those numbers and extrapolate them to a season in the American League in a hitter's ballpark like USCF. By and large, ST numbers are meaningless for hitters AND pitchers.

I think that was the rub right there. O Perez had one good year and we were acting like he was a Cy Young pitcher. Konerko had proven himself, and with one mediocre year some fans were calling for his head to be lopped off. I for one am happy it didn't happen. But, I think it could have happened if the Dodgers had sweetened the pot with some of that minor league talent.
