Perez looked poor again, which has to be an area of concern. What does everyone think about his early season struggles?

Didn't get to see the game, but Rotowire says he's having velocity issues. "Perez's velocity was once again in the high 80's, with an occasional fastball touching 91 mph... Right now Perez can control his 88-89 mph fastball. When he tries to reach back for something extra, however, he doesn't know where the ball is going to end up."

Not good... not good at all. I've no idea how they can fix this, either.

Like I have said before this guy is not a number one; more like a number three or four on most teams. He has lost a good 5mph off his fastball, and that has really hurt him.

The best part of the whole thing is Perez keeps telling the media that he feels good??

Are you sure he didn't say in spanish and something was lost in the translation?
