The Rays' daily spring training release included quotes from manager Joe Maddon on former Biscuits Fernando Perez and Juan Salas.(On outfielder Fernando Perez)
JM: He’s really a bright young man. He’s very analytical in everything that he does. He’s moving further along. He got a lot better on-base percentage. The thing we really want to get to the next level on with him is a higher success of stealing second base. Stolen base percentage needs to increase. There are certain things we need to work on within that area, but, offensively he does so many good things. Defensively, again, we’re going over routes. But speed can really make up for anything he misreads early on.(On Juan Salas)
JM: The longer he is out the more difficult it is going to be for him, compared to the other two guys. We saw a little bit of Guzy (Guzman) last year and Aybar has a track record. Juan is still trying to create a track record. I would say of any of the three it would most impact, it would be him (Salas). He would be competing against the whole group: Birkins, Dohmann, Balfour, Orvella, Houser, etc.
