Here is a quick recap of how the players in the Cleveland Indians' system did in fall/winter league action on Monday November 29th. Note, only the Puerto Rico Winter League was in action (just one game) last night as both the Dominican Winter League and Venezeulan Winter League were off on Monday.
- Roberto Perez - C, Indios de Mayaguez: 1-for-2, BB, K. Perez got another hit in his third game of action since joining his team out in Puerto Rico and is now 2-for-6 with 3 walks in three games. The Indians' defensive stalwart is putting in a lot of time in winter ball this offseason as he spent a month and a half in Arizona playing in the Arizona Fall League and is now finishing up his offseason play in Puerto Rico where it looks like he will be the main catcher these final three weeks of play there. All of the extra play against higher level competition than he saw at Low-A Lake County in 2010 will hopefully fine tune his defense but most importantly jumpstart his bat.

These are the type stretches of continued play that can move a layer's timeline up considerably. I predict that we will see an improved bat from Perez this year. Even if it's baby steps. A catcher with his defensive prowess can be a huge plus to any pitching staff he's with. The most important defensive position on the team.
I agree Dan. I do think there will be no rush with Perez, especially with Chen at Akron and Marson/Santana topside. They will try and develop him as best as possible at the plate to be a major league hitter. He'll never be anything special as a hitter, but if he can hold his own at the plate working counts and getting on with walks and showing a little power....he could have a long big league career at least as a backup.
