Your favorite communist spy/assassin and mine, Neifi Perez has been suspended 25 games for using amphetamines. This news may have eluded your notice if you don't make it a habit to keep up with the worst player in major league baseball. The crazy thing about his numbers this year, .172, 5 runs, 1 HR, 6 RBI is this: "Holy Shit Neifi Perez hit a home run?!? Who threw that pitch? Hugh "Losing Pitcher" Mulcahy?"
Which got me thinking, if a subpar pitcher like Hugh Mulcahy can have such an awesome nickname (albiet one you wouldn't want to self apply), why can't Neifi. I hereby dub thee, Neifi "Replacement Level" Perez.
In the real world, the loss of Perez gives Ryan Raburn, currently on the border between late blooming prospect and organizational soldier, some chance to show what he can do in the majors. I don't expect him to see much playing time, but it's worth noting that he was pretty much demolishing AAA...
