The Ranger Reporter

MLB.com choose Martin Perez as the eighth best prospect in baseball.  He had a nice showing in the Texas League but then struggled as a 20 year old in the PCL where he’ll probably end up again in 2012.

He’s a lefty and hopes are high that he makes an impact in the Rangers rotation as early as 2013.  He’s not a really hard thrower but he has a really nice curve ball.  His walk rate was also a little on the high side and while this is a great arm, Perez can still use some work.
