Rossmel Perez, c, Diamondbacks: The Diamondbacks sent low Class A South Bend catcher Ryan Babineau to the disabled list late last month and brought the switch-hitting Perez up from extended spring training as his replacement. Perez has wasted little time getting started—albeit in just eight games—batting .429/.529/.500 in a 12-for-28 start, reaching base at least once in each game. Perez, a $150,000 sign out of Venezuela in 2006, is selective at the plate and has a feel for making contact. He still needs to develop more power to be able to do more damage when he does make contact, but a.) he’s only 19, b.) hitting for power in the Midwest League in the first half of the season is no easy task and c.) he already has good bat speed.
