| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2012-02-02 15:00:00 | Who do you think has the best group of young (25 & under) starting pitchers including prospects: ATL (Beachy, Minor, Hanson, Teheran, Delgado, Vizcaino, Spruill, etc.), TB (Moore, Price, Hellickson, Davis, Torres, Colome, Archer, Cobb, etc.), or TEX (Darvish, Holland, Harrison, Feliz, Neil Ramirez, Martin Perez, Robbie Ross, Cody Buckel, etc.)? Thanks. (Kristen W. from Canada) | I'd take the Rays, given that they have the defending AL RoY and the guy who could win it this year, but Kevin Goldstein may disagree. That's no knock on the Rangers or Braves either... all three of these teams are in enviable positions in this regard. (Cory Schwartz) |
| 2012-01-20 14:00:00 | Is this the year that Martin Perez's prospect status needs to stop being rather heavily dependent on age-relative-to-league, or does he still have a few more years to be inconsistent on a start-to-start basis and put up (at times) mediocre results? In other words, how much of a hit will his ranking take if he puts up AAA stats this year similar to his 2011 AAA stats? (Mario66 from Milwaukee) | I think it will take a signficant hit. I like Perez quite a bit, but it's time to perform. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | Aren't Manny Banuelos and Martin Perez essentially the same prospect? (Taylor from Amarillo) | They are similar but not the same. I'd take Perez over Banuelos because I think his stuff has a little more bite to it. (Jason Parks) |
| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | Jason,
Has your opinion of Martin Perez changed at all coming into this year? Everything I read suggests he has the potential to become a true ace but he has continued to struggle in the minors, although he is still very young. Do you see him reaching his ceiling and do you see him pitching in Texas this season? (bateman19 from Boston, MA) | He doesn't have the potential to be a true ace, but he could develop into a solid #2/3 type on a very good team. He was never going to be an ace. People jump the gun on that stuff all the time. Struggles can be a good thing, as it forces the pitcher to adjust in order to survive and flourish. Perez has a good chance of reaching a respectable ceiling as a big league starter, but he's not going to be an ace. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-12-14 13:00:00 | Give me a best case comp. for Martin Perez. Can he still be a big k, relatively healthy rotation anchor? (SenatorsGuy from Mantana) | I don't like to force comps. Perez could be a very good number two starter on a championship level team if he hits his projections. Not everybody believes that, though. He is still very young, and he has the delivery and arsenal to pitch at a high level in the big leagues. Rotation anchor? Probably not. Big K? Probably not. Good starter at the very least? Probably. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-10-04 13:00:00 | Does Neil Ramirez start a game for the 2012 Rangers? Does Martin Perez? (Or from Dallas) | Both will start at some point in '12. Unless one of them is traded in the off-season, which I wouldn't rule out. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-09-14 13:00:00 | Both small in stature, large in talent. Who do you like more? Martin Perez pitching at the Ballpark in Arlington or Robbie Erlin pitching at Petco? (Trey from Frisco TX) | Perez is probably still the better pitcher, though his prospect luster is a little less, well, lustrous these days than it has been in the past. From an un-park-adjusted perspective, though (read: fantasy), I like Erlin better. A talented flyball guy pitching in the park that made Aaron Harang fantasy-relevant again? Yes, please. (Ben Lindbergh) |
| 2011-07-21 13:00:00 | What are the chances that Texas calls up Martin Perez to pitch out of the bullpen for the stretch run (esp. if they can't land another arm before the deadline)? Is that a stupid thing to do with a prized SP prospect, or a good way to get him ML experience w/ out torching his arm late in the year? (MJ from Madison, Wis.) | Well, they did it with Neftali Feliz in '09. Jon Daniels has talked before about the "old school" nature of getting young pitchers feet wet in the bullpen. It's not far fetched at all, but I think they'll get an arm or two for the pen.
BTW, if they could get an impact starter, I wonder if they'd include Perez in a deal. They've said they won't move him for a reliever, but I would have to think that if a Jimenez (who I doubt gets moved, but Troy Renck still leaves chances at 20%) is available, they'd be willing to part with him. (Mike Ferrin) |
| 2011-04-18 13:00:00 | Any reports on Martin Perez? Numbers look good. (conway from tennessee) | Stuff is certainly there, as he was up to 97 the other night. He's had one great start, and one so-so start, so we still need more consistency. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-03-08 14:00:00 | I have these prospects in my 12 team 40 player dynasty league...Do I have to wait long for these guys? What is the progression on Martin Perez, A Hechavarria and W Flores? Thanks (Matt from philly) | I'm punting this one to Kevin Goldstein, this is his area of expertise, not mine! (Cory Schwartz) |
| 2011-01-03 14:00:00 | John Lamb or Martin Perez? (Mark from Belleville) | A. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-12-07 13:00:00 | Thanks for the chat Marc, great timing!
From the Greinke rumors it appears that Anthopolous is reluctant to give up two out of Drabek, Lawrie and Snider and rolling the dice that Texas doesn't sweeten their offer and include both Profar and Martin Perez. Will the Yankees and Cliff Lee ultimately decide this and how do you see it playing out? (chewbalka from Canada) | That last point sounds important. The Blue Jays are aware that it's an arms race in the AL East, and that talent has to be acquired through means other than free agency in order to keep the pace. If the Yankees get Cliff Lee and help to fix their thin rotation, then the Blue Jays need to respond, and will probably relent on giving up two of those players considering Texas will also need a replacement for Lee at that point. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-11-09 14:00:00 | Your current thoughts on Martin Perez? Stock down, or unchanged? (I'm assuming definitely not up...) (Chris from MO) | Down, but not as much as his numbers might suggest. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-08-20 15:30:00 | While I still think he's one of the best prospects in the game, it's pretty clear that Martin Perez hasn't yet made the adjustments needed to get AA hitters out. No crime, of course, given his youth.
I think the process of learning to harness stuff as a kid moves up the levels would make for a great article, though, when you have free time... (Mike from Paris, Texas) | I really like this idea, maybe even as just a piece on Perez' season itself. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-06-18 14:00:00 | Does Ryan Doumit of Zach Duke bring any kind of return worth getting excited about? Could both get Martin Perez? (Joe from Altoona) | Zach Duke is the type of guy I see as maybe 4th or 5th prize for an acquiring team. He doesn't have too solid of an established track record to make anyone excited, and most teams have a viable 4th or 5th starter with equal potential or upside. Doumit is interesting, but I cannot see the Rangers giving anything remotely valuable up for him. I don't think Duke+Doumit gets Perez. (Eric Seidman) |
| 2010-05-28 14:00:00 | What had been Martin Perez's downfall so far this year? Age? Stuff? Command? (jaymoff from Salem, OR) | Far more command than anything else. I wouldn't worry about it too much . . . yet. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-04-08 14:00:00 | other than smoak and scheppers, are there any other rangers prospects you think could have an impact this year? (tweedly from tx) | Impact? Probably not. I still think a Martin Perez sighting in Texas as a teenager isn't completely out of the question. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-04-08 14:00:00 | Similar to the past two requests, who should I be excited to see for the Roughriders other than Martin Perez and Scheppers? (tweedly from tx) | Not a stacked roster by any means. Kasey Kiker is still worth a look of course, but that's going to be a weak, weak lineup. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-03-03 14:00:00 | Has Martin Perez accelerated his timetable so much that there's a reasonable chance he sees the big leagues this year? Or are the Rangers going to slow him down now and get him a full year at the upper levels? (Jonathan from New York) | I've been told by people who now that Perez has every opportunity to earn a September look. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-12-11 13:00:00 | Which pairing represents the silliest comp in the prospect hype machine from the last 12 months? A) Martin Perez & Johan Santana, B) Dee Gordon & Jose Reyes, C) Smoak & Teixiera, and D) Starlin & Hanley? Which is most realistic? I know you like to avoid comps yourself, but do see any now that just seem realistic (likely not my list of outlandish ones)? Thank you. (Randy from Camden County) | I'm going of the board and picking the Dom Brown (Phillies) = Darryl Strawberry one. Easily the laziest of the current comps. Yes, he's LH, African-American, tall and lanky, but that's about it. Go look at what Daryl did at the same age as Brown. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-10-09 13:30:00 | How large is the difference in ceilings between Manuel Banuelos and Martin Perez? (Kyle from Austin, TX) | It's pretty sizeable, and I like Banuelos. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-08-17 14:00:00 | RE: Joba Rules and Arlington, there hasn't been a more babied pitcher in baseball than Martin Perez. (fjm(anuel) from NY) | Good point -- and bully for the Rangers' development staff. But let's see what happens in the heat of a pennant race. I'm hoping, for Neftali's sake, that caution flags will continue to fly for a few more laps. As a Cubs fan I've looked into the abyss, and had Dusty look back at me. (Ken Funck) |
| 2009-08-21 14:00:00 | Are Martin Perez's 2 poor outings at AA a result of nerves, better competition, him being exposed, a bit of everything, or merely a blip on the screen and domination will soon begin? (jaymoff from Salem, OR) | I don't know about the nerves, but it was a tall order to begin with. I don't expect him to dominate Double-A hitters -- that would just be expecting too much. Just holding his own there would be an accomplishment. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-05-28 14:00:00 | Does Martin Perez have enough helium to be a top 10 prospect in baseball by years end? (Will from Dallas) | Top 10? Absolutely not. (Kevin Goldstein) |
