Odalis Perez Holdout Situation

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 18:12:07 -0500

ESPN's Enrique Rojas is reporting that Odalis Perez has sent his agent to back to the Nationals to renegotiate his deal. "I thought it best I prefer to sit in my house if the Nationals do not show more appreciation for my work. Appreciate my work means to increase the value of the contract and guarantee it. I will not accept any minor league contracts with no safeguards. I instructed my agent to report my position to the Nationals." Perez went 7-12 with a 4.34 ERA in 30 starts last season, but had a FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching) of 4.62.*
It will be interesting to see if any teams make a move for Perez, considering he hasn't had a winning record in five seasons.?
*Fielding Independent Pitching: A way to measure all of those things for which a pitcher is specifically responsible. FIP helps you understand how well a pitcher pitched, regardless of how well his fielders fielded.?

Perez Hopes To Stay With Nationals

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:58:39 -0500

Free agent pitcher Odalis Perez is drawing some interest on the open market, but says he would like to stay with the Nationals. The White Sox and Yankees have reportedly made offers to Perez, but it is believed that he is working on a two or three year deal with the Nationals. Perez went 7-12 with a 4.34 ERA in thirty games for the Nationals, but lacked the run support that would have made his numbers look a lot better.
The Nationals are also pursuing a big time power hitter, and it is believed they will target Adam Dunn, a product of Jim Bowden's from his days with the Reds.

Welcome To Nationals Park!

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 21:43:45 -0500

They're playing the season opener right now, and the Nats hold a 2-1 lead over the Bravos headed into the top of the 8th. Odalis Perez (why does John Miller insist upon saying Perez like he does? Pear-ez) pitched 5 innings of one run ball! Holy crap, now there's a shocker. First game in the Nats new digs...... almost. The editorial staff at The Legend went to the preseason O's/Nats game last night to get a sneak peak at the ballpark. Luckily, we took our assistant director of photography who snapped off all of these preview shots for us (thank you Ricky Booby).
