It certainly would have been in his best interest if Lowe signed elsewhere... In regards to the comment that the Mets should have ponied up to get Lowe I completely agree…but:

His pct of total strikes put into play has not changed his years with the Mets, and is 1.2 SD better than league mean. The low pct of strikes combined with the low contact rate means Perez will run up his pitch counts, issuing more walks along with more strikeouts.

It's a lack of confidence. I think some positive reinforcement, a night out with David Wright, and a pat on the back from Johan should help his bb rate, control, and velo. Maybe he can wait for another bases loaded bottom of the ninth and pinch hit with Oliver. I don’t know why everyone is so worried Jerry Manuel has already figured out the problem.

Could he be getting squeezed all the time? I've seen some rather sloppy umpiring this season. Not that I'm disagreeing that Perez sucks. Have we looked at his Hit F/X data?
