	OLIVER PEREZ
		Perez is yet another in the long line of fine young pitching prospects to come out of the Padres’ organization, though he has sort of been overshadowed by the highly-touted right-handers Ben Howard and Dennis Tankersley.
		Perez is a tall and lanky left-hander, who can put some good zip and movement on his low-90s (92-93, topping out at 97 mph) fastball, clearly his best pitch at this point.
		Oliver is a very confident, driven, and hard-working young pitcher, who has shown that he can be very aggressive in going after hitters.

	SI.com - Fantasy Central - Jason Grey: Oliver Perez's troubles remain a mystery - Wednesday May 11, 2005 3:14PM
		Perez also did not pitch in winter ball for the first time this offseason, so he may not have been as sharp as usual when Spring Training started.
		However, Perez was given an offseason throwing regimen that he did not adhere to, which also may be a contributing factor to his poor start.
		The shoulder trouble might even be related to Perez' mechanics being off, and that a renewed emphasis on mechanics, which is what the Pirates say they are going to work on in Perez' downtime, will cause his throwing arm's muscles to be used in the way they are accustomed to and alleviate the shoulder trouble.
