Chris Perez, RP,
Cardinals: Perez was recalled May 16 after
the team placed former closer Jason Isringhausen
(hand) on the 15-day disabled list. Perez had been
closing for Class AAA Memphis, where he recorded
eight saves and struck out 22 batters in
17
⅔
innings. Perez has been throwing consistently in
the mid-90s while hitting 98 mph on the radar
gun.
He has struggled with his control at times, but Perez
figures to be the Cardinals future closer and could
receive some opportunities early on.
