How could I forget perhaps the best budding comeback story of spring camp - Miguel Perez.
Perez, an eloquent minor-league catcher and accomplished violinist, is trying to recover from a blood clot which required the removal of his right rib to relieve pressure on an artery. Shortly thereafter, Perez developed internal bleeding from an infection resulting from the surgery.
Perez, 23, is finally starting to concentrate on baseball again. The ever-articulate backstop says he's gained a new prespective on baseball and life as a result of his recent health issues.
"You're here today, but you don't know if you'll be here tomorrow," Perez said. "That's what I learned from this experience."
