The same guy who refused a minor league assignment last year with the Mets, weighed all his offers and signed with the pitcher bereft Washington Nationals . The Nats who seem to collect players with physical issues, feel that for a little over 400K that scatterbrained Ollie was worth a shot.
According to Jon Heyman via his twitter account the Nats feel they can get to Ollie.His minor league pitching coach spin williams, who had ollie in pittsburgh, thinks his mechanics are off and velocity should return . The only problem with this is that Ollie issues are more mental then physical.
This is my fav comment about the Nats signing Ollie. @PeteAbe: Just for kicks, Boras should invent the name of a player and see how it takes to get the Nationals to sign him. 2 days tops
Can you tell me why Ollie accepts a minor league deal? Hello the team that payed you 36M you refuse?
Do I expect him to be pitching for the Nats 1 game against the Mets? Not really but if he did you know he would strike out the side. It would fit right into the drama this club seems to be built around .
