News: OF Timo Perez has a chance to hit better than .400 for his brief time with the Tigers this season, yet whether he returns next year will depend upon other factors, reports The Sports Xchange. "He's been tremendous," manager Jim Leyland said of Perez, batting .415 in 27 games. "But has he helped himself when the Tigers look at the future? Here's the way it goes for anybody. If you can do better, go get him." Leyland has said he wouldn't be afraid to open next season with a platoon situation in left field, which would give Perez a shot.
Analysis: The Tigers hesitate to endorse Perez for next season because they know he's not really this good. As a Fantasy owner, so should you. He has no power and little stolen base potential, so consider him only a reserve for AL-only leagues even if he gets some time starting for the Tigers.

Analysis: Shelton's bat doesn't belong in the minor leagues. He will have to bide his time until Sean Casey gets injured at this point and is worthy nothing more than a minor-league flier in the deepest of leagues you can afford to stash one.

Analysis:
News: The New York Daily News says Perez will remain with the Mets when Mo Vaughn comes off the DL, which may happen early next week. Tony Tarasco is expected to be sent back to the minors, and Perez may continue to lurk as a threat to the playing time of slumping center fielder Jay Payton.

Jay Payton has looked very good in camp and Bobby Valentine is enamored with Gary Matthews Jr. Perez, who is recovering from hand surgery, won't be able to play until March 5. New York Newsday says the Expos have inquired about his availability.
Analysis:
News: The New York Daily News says Perez has a chance to share playing time in center field with Jay Payton. But Perez is slowly recovering from hand surgery, and might not be ready to play until the exhibition schedule begins, putting him at an early disadvantage.

Analysis:
News: Perez broke a bone in his right hand during the Dominican Winter League and will have surgery Friday. Perez is expected to be completely healed from the operation on his hamate bone by March 1. He hit .247 with five homers and 22 RBIs in 79 games for the Mets last season.
Analysis:
News: The Mets optioned Perez to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday. He was hitting just .247 and wasn't providing Fantasy owners with any useful stats. Drop him.

Analysis:
News: Perez might be put on the DL with an injured left hand. The depleted Mets outfield featured Darren Bragg in Perez’s right field spot on Thursday against Florida. Bragg has been playing a lot lately, and is a decent pickup in emergency situations in NL-only leagues.
Analysis:
News: Perez is nursing a sore left hand, and has been used on an every-other-day basis by skipper Bobby Valentine. He was out of the starting lineup on Wednesday, but did pinch-hit in the game. He is listed as day-to-day.
Analysis:
News: The Mets activated Perez from the disabled list in time for Friday's game in St. Louis. He batted leadoff and went 1-for-5, and should probably assume that lineup spot for most games. While you should feel free to activate Perez for the upcoming week, remember that the Mets haven't been hitting well so his numbers might not be good enough to start as more than a fourth or fifth outfielder.
Analysis:
News: Perez is expected to be activated from the disabled list on April 27. The reserve outfielder has been on the DL since the beginning of April with a strained groin.
Analysis:
News: Perez's return from a groin injury has been slower than the team expected. He was slated to return on April 24, but his groin still wasn't back to 100 percent. The Mets hope he is healthy enough to return on April 27.
Analysis:
News: Perez's injured groin gave him no discomfort while taking light batting practice, but he's still not at 100 percent. However, Perez believes that with some rest he can get back to at least 95 percent by the the time he is eligible to come off the DL on April 24.
Analysis:
News: Perez is expected to swing a bat on Monday and may even take batting practice before the Mets' game with Montreal. The speedy outfielder, who is sidelined with a strained groin, is eligible to come off the DL on April 24.
Analysis:
