Martinez said that in the spring the leading candidates to play alongside him on the inside were Jordan Perez and Noor Davis. (With Davis out, it seems like that makes Perez the leader, but that's my interpretation.) Kevin Palma has been working with him recently on the first team, and "he's doing pretty well." He said it comes down to ability and communication. "It's who can I trust, and who can play without me holding his hand?"

Martinez sure sounds like a confident dude. Has Perez sneaked up on people? I thought Palma was likely to start with Noor Davis having an outside chance (before his injury).
