murraygd13 1,137 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 He gets to face the Tigers, Indians, Royals and White Sox for the majority of his starts. All four of them are in the bottom half of the AL in runs scored. I'm buying him where I can. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve been monitoring Perez since spring when the reports of increased velo and a cutter first started appearing. I feel comfortable in saying that I don’t think he’s going to transform back into the old Perez, but I have no problems selling either if you can get something of value in return. I doubt you’d be able to find many buyers though since there is rarely a market for these types of players. I see this new version of him as a 3.75-4.00era guy going forward with a 8.5-8.75k/9. Considering that plays in my leagues I’m going to keep trotting him out there. If that doesn’t then I’d be aggressive in trying to deal him.

But when a pitcher gains velocity and has a new pitch that is effectively befuddling hitters, I'll hold until I see that they've figured him out. He's helping in my league and that's what matters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swfcdan 659 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 When you hear he's beeing mentored by Johan you take notice. Only 4 dongs given up so far, strong K's and only 2 4BB+ outings so they havent got out of control. Needs to cut down still but I'm liking the new Perez I'm seein.

Few are going to pay something of value for Perez because of the aforementioned six years. But it's also not crazy to expect a strong year will continue, in the face of the changes he made. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mlb2019 170 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 2.95 ERA and 1.33 WHIP for the season. one of them two will be adjusted accordingly if not both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpecialFNK 1,477 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Perez not starting today, will start on Thursday in TB. I also see this article on Perez.. https://thescorecrow.com/2019/05/28/deep-dive-martin-perez/ Quote After signing a 1yr $3.5 MIL in the offseason with the Minnesota Twins, Martin Perez is having a career resurgence year in 2019. In 2019, Perez has tossed 58 IP with a 2.95 ERA, 7.9 H9, 0.8 HR9, 4.0 BB9, 8.7 SO9, and 1.32 WHIP. What’s led to Perez resurgence this season is his Cutter. He throws it 33% of the time, has a BAA of .119, an SLG of .167 and an ISO (isolated power) of .048. It’s been a huge part of his swing and miss game in 2019. The Cutter has a swing% of 54%, 28.4% of whiffs per swing, and a 15.4% whiff%. He excels at getting hitters to hit it on the ground as well with a 45.6% ground-balls in play, a 19.3% of fly balls in play, and 24.5% of line drives per balls in play. The lefty simply doesn’t give up hard-hit balls either. He has an 86.0 MPH Exit Velocity on his balls in play and a 29.0% of Hard Hit balls which are the lowest of his career. He’s excelled at throwing first-pitch strikes as well this season at a 66.1% F-Strike%, and he has a 10.9% swing strike% which are both the highest of his career. Perez has been excellent at not allowing a lot of contact as he gets a 76.6% of contact made when swinging at pitches which is the lowest mark of his career. He gets the hitters to also swing at bad pitches getting a 32.6% of swings outside the strike zone and only a 66.3% of contact made when swinging at them. He’s likely to maintain his low 3s era for the rest of the season I believe. His peripherals indicate it’s somewhat sustainable with a 3.69 FIP (fielder independent pitching), 4.35 xFIP, 4.55 SIERA(skill-interactive era), 65 ERA-, and 81 FIP- (where 100 is average and lower is better). He also has an XBA of .215, XSLG of .340 and a .298 WOBA (weighted on-base average). This breakout season for Martin Perez will lead him to an All-Star selection I believe, and Perez will be a huge impact for the Minnesota Twins this season as they are on the rise to steal the AL Central from the Cleveland Indians. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flyman75 4,848 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 So is the bloom coming off the rose, or has he just hit a bump in the road? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Velocity is down slightly from the 96 he was at earlier this year. I've noticed they've given him more time between starts lately. I'm personally holding in a couple of deep leagues for another look but he won't be in my lineups. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HaloFanatic17 425 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Turned back into a pumpkin. Hasn’t looked good in his last several stats. It was fun while it lasted and I hoped he would continue his breakout from earlier this season. But killing my ratios too many times. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KanyePodcast 5 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 His Home/Away splits are starting to show. I sat him today and it paid off. I think if you keep him and use him for home starts...he might still pay off? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Csiebert5 182 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Has anyone heard anything about him skipping a start? Yahoo nor MLB.com shows him starting at least until the 5th. After that MIN starters are TBD. He last pitched 6/27.. anyone heard anything? Thorpe was called up yesterday for spot start? This may have something to do with it?

Right? He's been far better than Perez has been historically, even during his cold stretch. Also pitches with a top 3 offense at his back. I don't think he's a must own or anything, but the 'do you need six years of him being garbage again?' stuff is silly when the guy is obviously much improved.

He's actually 31st in xWOBA at .293, right behind Boyd. Top 5% in the league in exit velo and hard hit. He just doesn't have a great breaking ball to limit contact. I actually like him a bit for dynasty. He's only 28 years old and MIN's pitching coach is a stud. Perez could pick up a breaking ball sometime soon and become more intriguing. For this year it's basically cutter and change-up. Not a ton of Ks with that. Edited July 1, 2019 by dod959 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My sell now post you quoted was from back in May, when he had a 3.15 ERA. There is no question that his value back then was much higher than it is now and anyone who actually did sell him instead of eating his 5.08 ERA for June most certainly profited. It's silly to suggest otherwise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
