Perez extended

I just heard that Salvadore Perez was extended by the Royals. Great move. They buy 3 years of pre-arbitration years and they get him in the fold for the next 5 years. Very nice move. This Royals team could have the makings of a great one. Perez is a vital cog. He is the best catcher this organization has seen in many, many years. He may turn out to be the best catcher the team has ever seen. Signing him now shows foresight and it just adds to my optimism for the season. I'm excited for the Royals this season and going forward. I love that fact that Butler and now Perez are here for the future. I'm pretty sure the Boras clients on the team will not be willing to sign such team friendly contracts. I'd love to wrap Hosmer up now, but that will not happen. Perez is locked up. He is the anti Jason Kendall. I love the energy he plays with and the smile he wears while playing. The kid works hard and the pitchers the Royals do throw out there will be better of with Perez than most other catchers. Escobar/Gio/Cain as the up the middle D. Well, a very good catcher is in the fold. Hopefully the season will result in the Royals being 500 and in contention. Hey where is Mijares?
