The laziness of Ollie

Alan Robinson, of AP fame, reports on the laziness of Oliver Perez.

Perez's first full season in the majors also was his longest in baseball, so he skipped pitching for hometown Culiacan in the Mexican league this winter.

"It was the first time I felt so tired, so that's why I rested a lot," Perez said. "I wanted to enjoy my family, have a vacation, just stay with my friends and try to forget a little bit of baseball."

What a slacker! Hard to believe I'm ready to name my next child (or cat) after him.
