Definitely Perez. Hayes is 31 years old and doesn't have a great major league track record.
Perez is 26 and still has room to grow.
I think it was Underwood who just said Santana loses all his patience once there are runners in scoring position.
This year with runners in scoring position: .261 AVG, .370 OBP
Last three years with runners in scoring position: .257 AVG, .397 OBP
That OBP over the three years with runners in scoring position is higher than his overall OBP over those three years
I see Perez as a guy that will play the role Yan Gomes did for a bit. Great back-up who could turn into an eventual starter (somewhere).
Surprised Santana doesn't piss anybody off around here with his shitty approach sometimes.
Below .240 avg, fine he's notorious for his horrible average and slow starts. But his .260 avg with RISP is whats truly terrible.
