The utility infielder was a pleasant surprise for the Phillies in 2015, coupling above average defense at three positions with a "how did he do that" OPS of .863. What does 2016 hold for the Versatile Venezuelan?
Andres Eloy Perez Blanco, who originally signed with the Phillies in 2012, played in only 25 games in 2014, largely as an injury replacement. In 2015, not much was expected when he re-upped, but he came out of nowhere to post a .292/.360/.502/.863 line with seven home runs in 261 plate appearances. (note: Blanco's Baseball-Reference page has a rounding error) Coupled with well-regarded if not high-scoring defense, Blanco was worth 1.
