Prospectus Q&A: Chris Perez

Chris Perez and Brian Wilson are closers, so it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that they are both a little… different? Each is definitely unique, but given the proliferation of oddballs that have thrived in the role—from Al Hrabosky and Rod Beck to Mitch Williams and John Rocker—they somehow fit right in.

The shaggy-haired and outspoken Perez, who took over as Cleveland’s closer when Kerry Wood was traded earlier this season, currently sports a 2.06 ERA to go with 16 saves. The irreverent and Mohawk-coifed Wilson has 36 saves and 1.88 ERA for the Giants.
