I'm sure someone in the Dominican finds him to be a treasure. The Nationals need all the arms they can get. If Odalis could ever miss a bat, the Nats might be in luck.Nationals signed LHP Odalis Perez to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
Perez will compete with Matt Chico, Tim Redding, John Lannan and Tyler Clippard for two spots in Washington's rotation. The return to the NL should be good for him, but there's still not much reason for optimism here.
