Comments on: Will The Real Oliver Perez Please Stand Up? http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/will-the-real-oliver-perez-please-stand-up/ Daily baseball statistical analysis and commentary Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:42:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tom Au http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/will-the-real-oliver-perez-please-stand-up/#comment-33972 Tom Au Tue, 13 May 2008 13:44:45 +0000 http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/will-the-real-oliver-perez-please-stand-up/#comment-33972 Perez was a maverick both on and off the field in Pittsburgh, where he never quite fit in. Hooray for the Mets, who have been able to make something of him and get his career more or less back on track. In a "round table" discussion last year, I asked Omar Minaya how he felt about what was in effect a Nady for Perez trade (although the original motivation was for the Mets to get Roberto Hernandez to stand in for the injured Duaner Sanchez). Minaya's reply was that he liked having a left-handed pitcher with a (relatively) low ERA. But he added, "I got something but I gave up something too" (Nady, now a valuable hitter for the Pirates).

(I can't find the companion piece though, which says that you want a consistent offense but inconsistent pitching.)
