The downside of the Padres giving up their former Arizona League affiliate for a Northwest League club is that their Pioneer League team became the lowest rung on their system's latter. Thus their youngest pitchers had to face more experienced hitters. Though righthanders Javier Martinez, David Pauley and Perez all got pounded for 6.00-plus ERAs, San Diego still values them as prospects. The best of the group is Perez, whose fastball already tops out at 95 mph. He just lacks consistency in all phases of the game. He generally throws from 88-90 mph, and his curveball, changeup and command all need work. He's just a raw arm at this point, but he's worth watching. He'll start 2002 in extended spring training and likely will head to Eugene at midseason.
