When the Sox got him, I remember reading on this forum that the reason the Yankees gave up on Periera was that he was injury prone. I’m there. Yes, I get that Hays is also brittle, but how many times has Periera gone on the IL this year already? At least 3, is it 4? Let’s go with Hays and move on from Periera. This is not a strong opinion from me, really it could be either one or both; I just have a little more faith in Hays, just a little.

The injuries have sucked, but not enough to not bet on the youth and team control if they are otherwise comparable.They've also been acute "playing hard" injuries (cleat caught in the wall padding, concussion on a tough catch) rather than the soft tissue stuff that can become recurrent like Hays' hammy/calf.Pereira playing all 3 OF spots also makes him less redundant with Grichuk than Hays would be.
