Calgary Vipers News Release
The Calgary Vipers have acquired infielder Wilver Perez from the Victoria Seals of the Golden Baseball League for future considerations and cash. This season Perez has a .318 batting average, nine home runs, 39 runs batted in, 76 runs scored, 25 doubles, 24 stolen bases, and 40 base on balls in 77 games played. With these numbers the Peoria, Arizona native is third in the league in runs scored, fifth in walks and stolen bases, and seventh in doubles and hits (98). This season is Perez's first in independent baseball after five years in the Kansas City Royals organization.
