The Cleveland Indians should bench Yan Gomes, name Roberto Perez their catcher

It's time for a change.

Roberto Perez has played in six games for the Cleveland Indians' Arizona Summer League team in the last nine days. He's gone 3 for 9, and has also drawn five walks, continuing a trend that was on display at the start of this season, before he landed on the DL with an injury to his right thumb that required surgery: In his 15 plate appearances with the Indians before the injury, he walked six times.

When the Indians start back up on Friday, following the All-Star break, Roberto Perez should be their starting catcher.
