I got it off cube scouting which is a 0-100 because that was the only place I could find him for a scouting report. I normally like using america baseball scouting which is 20-80 scale.

And your numbers are based on the “scouting” scale, right? I don’t know much about it, but it’s like 30 to 100, or something like that?

Yes the are from scouting reports. I am a former high school baseball coach, before I joined the military after 9/11. I dont rely on video games for my info.

I think those are the “scouting” ratings.

I’ve heard of the guy, but not heard anything about him being moved. He seems like he’s in the same mold as a lot of guys we’ve discussed – 25, 26 years old, very fast, good defense. But Perez has not yet had success at the ML level. Also, he’s so cheap, I don’t see why the Rays would trade him any time soon unless they were having a roster crunch.

Are you going by video game rating?

Ace have you heard any rumor about a center fielder called fernando Perez? I dont even know who this guys is or who he plays for the only Fernando Perez I found was with Tampa and if it him. He has great speed (95 out of 100) but a big hole is his bat (batting 25 out of 100). I do love speed butas you have said before they need to get on base. By the way Brett Gardner had a 78 out of 100 for batting.

All are possibilities, however remote. Cain and Oswalt have been bounced around recently, but both are wildly popular in their respective cities. Webb is a strong possibility. Beckett is a very unlikely one, because even if the Red Sox feel like they can’t resign him, there’s no way they’ll be out of it by the deadline – so they’ll just let him pitch out the year, offer him arbitration, and move on.

I have a hard time believing the Red Sox would ever trade someone because they ‘feel they can’t resign him’, that hasn’t really been Theo’s MO. Especially when it comes to a player like Beckett, the Red Sox will ALWAYS be capable of throwing as much money at a player as anyone else.
I don’t see the Giants trading Cain. With Lincecum thats a damn good 1-2 punch that would be kind of foolish to break up.
Brandon Webb and Oswalt have had injury issues, i don’t see it worth the risk to give up the farm in return for players who might not be in the top form they always have been.
The Cubs could definitely use another solid SP but they have more pressing needs. I don’t see them using up their resources to trade for another team’s ace when they could use those resources to fill other more glaring needs and still get a solid middle-of-the-rotation-pitcher who would not come at such a high cost.
