| Salvador Perez extends hit streak to 10 games |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (6/14/13) Royals catcher Salvador Perez extended his hitting streak to 10 games Friday against the Rays with a 2-for-5 performance that included a double and two RBI. He has hit .316/.338/.425 with two home runs and 25 RBI in 193 at-bats this season.

| Salvador Perez records 3 hits |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (6/9/13) Royals catcher Salvador Perez had a nice offensive game Sunday in a win over the Astros. Perez recorded three hits for Kansas City.
The catcher went 3 for 4 in the game with three singles. He's batting .320. Perez has hit in five straight games and has gone 8 for 18 over that stretch with a homer and five RBI.

| Salvador Perez moved to three-spot |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (6/6/13) Royals catcher Salvador Perez hit in the third spot Wednesday.
Manager Ned Yost asked the front office to crunch the numbers and compile an optimal lineup and decided to test it out Wednesday. The big difference in the lineup was first baseman Eric Hosmer moving to the two-spot and catcher Salvador Perez being put in the three-hole. Yost said Perez's contact-heavy approach was the reason for the change.
He finished 2 for 3 and the team won, so it will be interesting to see whether Yost makes the switch permanent.

| Salvador Perez rejoins Royals' lineup |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (6/4/13) Royals catcher Salvador Perez returned to the lineup Tuesday against the Twins for the first time since May 24. Perez, who had missed the last nine games, had been away from the team after the passing of his grandmother.

| Salvador Perez was a relative unknown when he burst onto the scene with a .331 batting average during a late-season trial in 2011, but the Royals bought into him right away, locking him up to a long-term deal. He then promptly tore the meniscus in his left knee and had to have surgery, sidelining him for about half of 2012. Fortunately, when he finally returned in late June, he demonstrated the same exceptional contact rate that allowed him to hit over .300 as a rookie, striking out just once in his first 32 at-bats. His ability to put bat on ball is unprecedented in this day and age, particularly for a catcher, and all but guarantees he'll deliver a high batting average. To put it in perspective, even though his BABIP was a relatively unimpressive .299 in 2012, he still managed to hit .301. And it's not like he's a one-trick pony. His 11 home runs in 76 games would translate to about 20 over a full season. Given how advanced he is as a hitter, the 22-year-old has the potential to develop into a force once he peaks physically. He's pretty good even now -- maybe not Buster Posey good or even Matt Wieters good, but right in that next tier. His lack of walks may irk some Head-to-Head owners, but otherwise, Perez is a safe and exciting pick in the middle rounds. (Updated 12/7/12) |
