No need for creative interpretation here; these guys looked like ****ing monsters, far more than anything on the current Cardinals radar.
And I'm pretty confident in standing by Perez and his value now and in the future.

Two players:
Player A:
.325/.427/.588 29HR, 111 R, 101 RBI, .373 BABIP in 577 PA
Player B:
.300/.357/.566 32 HR 80 R, 100 RBI, .308 BABIP in 513 PA
Both age 22 seasons. Both at AA. Where is the "far more" part other than the hype?
And this isn't to discredit those guys as prospects, but to provide perspective on projection based upon performance.
