Timoniel Pérez (born April 8, 1975 in Baní, Dominican Republic) is an outfielder in Major League Baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals. The New York Mets signed Pérez as a free agent in 2000, where he played for four years before being traded to the Chicago White Sox. He can play any one of the three outfield positions.
Pérez has appeared in the World Series twice: in 2000 with the Mets, losing to the New York Yankees, and in 2005 with the White Sox, beating the Houston Astros.
On February 10, 2006, Cincinnati signed Pérez to a minor-league contract.
Pérez currently plays in the St. Louis Cardinals minor league system, and was promoted to the major league team on June 2. In his first Cardinal at-bat, he was hit in the head with a pitch. Just one month later, on July 3, Perez was sent back down to the Memphis Redbirds. On August 15th, Timo was promoted back to the majors. Yet, on August 23, he was designated for assignment.
A fun fact is that Timo was born in the same week as fellow Cardinals Scott Rolen and Ronnie Belliard, with Rolen born on April 4, Belliard on the 7th, and Timo on the 8th.
