Re: Reds to sign Cuban OF Felix Perez
OF Félix Pérez (Isla)
Pérez continues to impress in workouts. His work ethic is second to none. Scouts like the sweet swing Pérez has shown and the increase in power since his return to the Dominican Republic. The Yankees, Pirates, Giants, Royals, Reds, Marlins, and Red Sox have evaluated Pérez. http://www.cubanballplayers.com/?p=1655

Re: Reds to sign Cuban OF Felix Perez
Was suspended for lying about his age.
Apparently a plus defender in center. Should be an interesting pick up. |

Re: Reds to sign Cuban OF Felix Perez
I know this is an absolute longshot, but I wonder if we could see him with the team this year given his advanced age.

Re: Reds to sign Cuban OF Felix Perez
Perez was still considered raw in 2008 (when he was still a teenager, allegedly). I don't know what kind of timetable they will have him on. In an article I read from the time, he has 5 tool talent. Regardless I like the continued investment internationally.

Re: Reds to sign Cuban OF Felix Perez
I'd like to see the Reds pick him up regardless of his age. Might make it easier for him and Chapman playing with each other.

Re: Reds to sign Cuban OF Felix Perez
Is he not subject to the International Signing Period? Could we see Perez in a Reds' affiliate uniform in the next couple months?
