It seems a little strange that they would be so careful about using Perdomo in meaningless situations. He is 25, and there seemed to be a fair bit of demand for him. Cleveland got a ML starting pitcher for him, and when the Cardinals left him unprotected, it was assumed he would be taken. Then when he was waived by the Giants, one of the first teams in line on waivers was expected to take him and then did. He doesn't seem to be able to throw much by Major Leaguers like he did in the minors yet, but you would think for that many people wanting to take a shot on him and at this age, on a team that's not any good anyway, they would believe in him enough to give him some more important appearances. It'll be interesting to see if this continues or if he improves his performance and whether they think he'll be ready at 26 or send him down for more seasoning next year.
