It's interesting, like I said last night, if Perez was healthy and the Pads offered me that package for him they gave for Nola, I'd have strongly considered it. The real question there though is if Trammel is Lorenzo Cain or if he's Desmond Jennings.
The Royals don't have the best track record of developing athletes into hitters even though they draft athletes all the time.
