Three more reasons to love Fernando Perez

PrintIn a hip-hop age, hearing Fernando Perez stepping to bat with Papa's Got a Brand New Bag by James Brown tells you all you need to know about this kid. Anyone grooving to the godfather of soul can be on my fantasy team.
As if that isn't enough, he lays out for an incredible catch...then throws a laser that ends up getting the big double play in the 4th.
AND....he belt's his third homer? I know...sample size...sample size...but this 50 AB sample is freaking sweet so far.
More reasons to love Perez from the media guide:
-Highest drafted player in Columbia U. history...
-His favorite reading is Herman Hesse's 1927 novel "Steppenwolf"
I know he's not going to really belt 3 homers every two weeks, but his speed alone has me dreaming up next years outfield. Crawford, Perez and Upton in the outfield in 2009 might mean never again giving up a triple in this league.

I want to listen to a conversation between Perez and Maddon
Maddon being a Lafayette man and Perez coming from Columbia, they’re combined IQ is probably greater than the rest of the roster
David Price?
Vanderbilt?
Carlos Pena is supposed to be extremely intelligent as well. Northeastern isn’t a slouch school.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Completely slipped my mind
On second thought we have a pretty smart roster, Niemann went to Rice as well.
Jonny Gomes studied at various times at
-The School of Hard Knocks
-The Streets
-The School of Life
-Thug U.
-Hustle University
-Devry
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

I believe he also took night classes on “How to Become a Cage Fighter Champion”
