The Detroit Tigers are offering memorable former Dodger pitcher Carlos Perez an invitation to Spring Training and a one-year contract with a team option for 2006, according to a Spanish-language report by The Associated Press cited by Raul Tavares of Dominican Players.
The report indicates that Perez, who has struck out nine while allowing one run in 8 1/3 innings with Licey in the Dominican Winter League, may take some time before choosing whether to accept the offer.
From the story:
"Estamos muy interesados en Pérez. Ha lucido fenomenal y creemos que aún puede sacar muchos outs en las grandes ligas," dijo Ramón Peña, supervisor de los cazatalentos de Detroit en Latinoamérica.
From the always amusing Systran translation:
"Very we are interested in Perez. It has shone phenomenal and we think that still it can remove many outs in great ligas," said to Ramon Rock, supervisor of the cazatalentos of Detroit in Latin America.
Perez is famous in Los Angeles for (in no particular order): 1) Four consecutive complete-game victories from September 2-20, 1998, his lawsuit-inducing conduct on a team flight in 2000 and his destruction of what was once a water cooler earlier that year.
