Over the course of the season, the Chicago Cubs, like plenty of other teams, have those guys down in the minors that everyone forgets about. Sometimes they're guys that come up for an at-bat or two and then go back, down, never to be thought of again. And sometimes there are guys like Carlos Perez who aren't even sniffing the major leagues, even though he's had a very nice season down on the farm.
Perez is one of those guys who has gotten a taste of the Big Leagues every now and then. He started his professional baseball career back in 2008 and finally got the call-up to the Major Leagues in 2015 with the Angels.
