Hernan Perez: Man of the Future?
With the trade of Aramis Ramirez, the Brewers have decided to allow Hernan Perez to fill his spot at the hot corner and play his way into or out of the team’s future plans. While Perez has been with the team for almost two months now, most fans know little about him. I thought it would […]
