From Seth Stohs' blog 9 days ago regarding this 25-year old infielder:
Beloit – Jairo Perez - IF (27-68) .397/.475/.618 with three doubles, four homers and 16 RBI.
Perez signed with the Twins way back in 2006, but it would not be surprising if most Twins fans had never heard of him until this month. He spent two years in the Dominican Summer League, and then hit .217 in 2009 in the GCL. Then, he missed all of 2010 with Tommy John surgery. His rehab contributed to him missing the first two months of the 2011 season. He was promoted to Beloit and debuted with a 2-4 effort on June 8th. He has continued to rake ever since. He had multi-hit games in eight of his 20 games played. He walked a lot, hit for power and drove in a ton of runs. He has a .414 BABIP to this point, so it may not be maintainable, but he certain started out well for his new team.
Wow, the first time through I read your comment as "9 years ago," thinking, this guy might be a non-prospect at this point...
Whoops, wrong website area.
