In addition, he sported a career low 2.50 BB/9. While there's no guarantee Perez will maintain those gains, especially the better control, it's good to see he was able to get back on track last year. Perez is slated to be the Indians closer, but some feel he'll be traded at some point, perhaps before Opening Day due to an impending salary bump in arbitration, along with residual friction from his well-publicized frustration with former manager Manny Acta. If you roster Perez, it is wise to also secure Vinnie Pestano, the next in line for saves in Cleveland.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":-1.8,"playerRater15DAY":-2.3,"positionRank":48}
