Hernan Perez Elects Free Agency

By Dylan A. Chase | October 16, 2019 at 5:15pm CDT

Veteran infielder Hernan Perez has elected for free agency, choosing to forego an outright assignment from the Brewers.

Perez, 28, was designated for assignment and outrighted previously this summer, although he ultimately hung around the Milwaukee farm and was subsequently selected for the active roster again in September. Formerly a quasi-regular in Milwaukee, Perez was limited to just 246 plate appearances in the majors this year, finishing the season with a .228/.262/.379 line (62 wRC+). Though he’s recorded a sub-par 73 wRC+ across 1800+ MLB plate appearances, Perez did flash some tantalizing speed back in 2016, when he swiped 34 bags in 123 games for the Brew Crew.

The versatile Perez is almost certain to latch on somewhere for 2020, as he offers one of the most flexible gloves in the game. Even in limited duty in 2019, the Venezuelan logged time at every single spot on the diamond, save for catcher. Milwaukee’s 40-man roster count now sits at 39.

      I can see it. Can play everywhere. They definitely need middle infield depth with just Rojas and Diaz at those positions.

    This stuff waits until after the World Series.

    One of the best all around defenders in baseball. He’s an upgrade defensively at most every position for the crew save center field. Here’s wishing him all the best in the future.

      Just because you can play a bunch of positions doesn’t make you elite.

    Maybe the Giants. Zaidi likes versatile players. If he hits he can latch on.

    I’d to see the Tigers target players with high slugging percentage. We had Euginio Suerez, but lost him for Alfredo Simon.

    Perez will find a job. Now Spang will probably be an upgrade over him. Faster and thinks better hitter. Defensively they are close to being equal not to mention his club house presence is second to none. Was like having another coach on the team.Just food for thought they did go on an amazing run after he came back to help with young players. Not by any means the main reason but the little things is the start of it

    Mets should give him a shot.. his track record is more impressive than most of the guys they’ve had on the bench in recent yrs.
